Description

AHK-Cu (alanyl-histidyl-lysine complexed with copper) is a copper-binding tripeptide studied in dermatological research, particularly in models of hair follicle biology and skin extracellular matrix remodeling. It shares its copper-chelation chemistry with the better-known GHK-Cu, but the alanine substitution at the N-terminus gives it a distinct structure that researchers compare head-to-head with other copper peptides. In cell culture models, copper peptides are investigated for their influence on fibroblast activity and the expression of matrix-associated proteins, which is why they appear frequently in cosmetic-dermatology research literature. AHK-Cu has been a specific subject of interest in follicle-cycle studies, where investigators examine how copper-peptide signaling interacts with dermal papilla cell behavior. This 50MG presentation suits extended in vitro programs, comparative copper-peptide panels, and formulation-stability research. As a metal-complexed peptide, it should be handled according to the storage guidance in its analytical documentation. Head-to-head comparisons with GHK-Cu remain the most common experimental design for this compound, clarifying the functional impact of the alanine substitution. For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use.

Key Features

  • 50MG research material suited to investigations of peptide-metal interactions.
  • Suitable for laboratory studies of copper-peptide behavior and cellular pathways.
  • Intended exclusively for laboratory and research use; not for human consumption.

Frequently asked questions

How does AHK-Cu differ from GHK-Cu?

AHK denotes alanyl-histidyl-lysine; GHK denotes glycyl-histidyl-lysine. The names describe different tripeptides. Their research findings should be distinguished rather than treated as interchangeable.

Does the cited follicle study establish results in people?

The 2007 study examined cultured dermal papilla cells and human hair follicles outside the body. Those experimental findings do not establish clinical outcomes for this product.

What is the purity of AHK-Cu 50MG?

Review the matching report for AHK-Cu 50MG in the COA library. Read the reported method, identity information and purity result together, and match the lot identifier to the supplied material.

Is a Certificate of Analysis included with AHK-Cu 50MG?

Browse the published COA library for AHK-Cu 50MG. Confirm that an available report matches the supplied product and lot; contact NUPEPS for current batch documentation before purchase.

How fast is shipping for AHK-Cu 50MG?

Orders placed before 3PM EST ship the same business day from our USA facility. Estimated delivery is 2 business days. Flat $15 shipping per order.

Is AHK-Cu 50MG for human use?

No. AHK-Cu 50MG is strictly for laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary consumption, diagnostic, or therapeutic use.
