AHK-Cu 100mg

AHK-Cu is the synthetic tripeptide Ala-His-Lys (Alanyl-Histidyl-Lysine) complexed with copper (II), presented as a 100 mg lyophilized research-grade product per vial. Literature documents it in hair follicle and dermal matrix studies as a copper complex related to cell proliferation signaling.

Signaling pathways documented in literature:

• Follicle stimulation Ex vivo models of human hair follicles document elongation and proliferation of dermal papilla cells
• Copper Signaling: The copper (II) complex is associated in literature with extracellular matrix modulation and dermal angiogenesis
