About AHK-Cu Peptide UK
AHK-Cu is a copper(II) complex of the tripeptide alanine-histidine-lysine (Ala-His-Lys), structurally related to but distinct from GHK-Cu. It is used in research examining copper-peptide effects on dermal tissue, hair follicle biology and wound-healing pathways.

AHK-Cu Research
Research uses AHK-Cu to study copper-tripeptide effects on tissue, with one in-vitro study examining its effect on human hair growth (Learn more). This work sits alongside broader copper-peptide research into dermal and wound-healing biology, connecting to related compounds such as [GHK-Cu].

AHK-Cu Frequently Asked Questions

What is AHK-Cu?
AHK-Cu is a copper(II) complex of the tripeptide alanine-histidine-lysine, supplied by Crown Peptides at 100mg strength.

How is AHK-Cu different from GHK-Cu?
Both are copper-binding tripeptides studied in dermal research, but they have different amino acid sequences — AHK-Cu is alanine-histidine-lysine, while GHK-Cu is glycine-histidine-lysine.

What is AHK-Cu studied for?
Research has examined its effects on dermal tissue, hair-follicle biology and wound-healing signalling.

Is AHK-Cu a synthetic peptide?
Yes. AHK-Cu research material is chemically synthesised to replicate the copper-tripeptide complex.

How should AHK-Cu quality be assessed?
The batch Certificate of Analysis should be used to confirm identity, assay and any applicable impurity information.
