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 vial. The literature documents it in hair follicle and dermal matrix studies as a copper complex associated with cell proliferation signaling.

Signaling pathways documented in the 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
