AHK-CU 100MG

AHK-Cu 100mg

Copper-binding tripeptide studied for extracellular matrix signaling, fibroblast activity, cellular remodeling, and hair-follicle research pathways.

Compound Overview

AHK-Cu is the copper complex of the tripeptide alanine-histidine-lysine (AHK). The histidine residue provides an important copper-binding site, allowing the peptide to participate in copper-dependent biochemical signaling. AHK-Cu is investigated in laboratory models involving cellular remodeling, extracellular matrix regulation, and peptide-mediated communication.

Research involving AHK-Cu has examined fibroblast activity and pathways associated with collagen and extracellular matrix organization. The peptide has also been investigated in experimental hair-follicle models, where researchers study signaling mechanisms associated with dermal papilla cells, follicular biology, and cellular proliferation.

As a copper-peptide complex, AHK-Cu is additionally useful for studying how peptide-bound copper influences cellular signaling compared with unbound copper ions. These investigations provide a biochemical framework for examining copper transport, peptide-metal interactions, and downstream cellular responses.
