AHK-Cu

AHK-Cu (Alanine-Histidine-Lysine Copper) is a tripeptide-copper complex investigated in dermatological and cellular research models. This compound consists of three amino acids coordinated with a copper ion, forming a bioactive peptide-metal complex.

Research Context:
AHK-Cu has been studied in dermal fibroblast models for its potential effects on extracellular matrix signaling pathways. In vitro research has examined its interaction with copper-dependent enzymatic systems and cellular proliferation markers.

Molecular Characteristics:

• Tripeptide sequence: Ala-His-Lys
• Copper coordination complex
• Water-soluble peptide-metal conjugate

Areas of Investigation:

• Extracellular matrix protein expression in cell culture
• Copper-dependent signaling in fibroblast models
• Wound healing cascade studies (in vitro)
• Collagen and elastin gene expression research

Supplied Form:
Lyophilized powder for reconstitution in laboratory settings.

This compound is supplied exclusively for in vitro research and laboratory investigation. Not intended for human or animal use.
