AHK-Cu 50mg – Copper Tripeptide-3
AHK-Cu, also known as Copper Tripeptide-3, is a research-grade copper-binding tripeptide composed of alanine, histidine, and lysine complexed with copper. This compound is supplied as a high-purity reagent for laboratory investigations into copper peptide signaling, dermal cell biology, extracellular matrix regulation, cellular repair pathways, and peptide-metal complex interactions in controlled experimental models.
In published preclinical and mechanistic research contexts, AHK-Cu has been studied for its role in cell signaling pathways associated with fibroblast activity, dermal papilla cell behavior, collagen-related gene expression, angiogenic signaling, oxidative stress response, and tissue remodeling mechanisms. Its copper-complexed structure makes it useful for exploring how trace-metal peptide complexes influence cellular communication, protein synthesis, and extracellular matrix dynamics in vitro.
AHK-Cu is structurally related to other copper peptide systems, but differs by its alanine-histidine-lysine sequence, which may contribute to distinct receptor interactions and experimental behavior compared with glycine-based copper tripeptides. Researchers may utilize AHK-Cu in cell culture models, dermal biology assays, follicular microenvironment studies, wound-repair pathway investigations, and broader experiments involving peptide-mediated copper transport and cellular adaptation.
The 50 mg lyophilized presentation is well-suited for extended research applications, repeated assay work, formulation screening in laboratory settings, or studies requiring larger quantities of copper peptide reagent. Each vial is supplied as a lyophilized powder with documented purity exceeding 99% by HPLC, verified through third-party testing, and accompanied by certificates of analysis when available.
