AHK-Cu — Studied in Hair Follicle and Skin Cell Research.

✓  RESEARCH GRADE — third-party tested for identity & purity
★★★★★Excellent|4.8 / 5 on Trustpilot

AHK-Cu is a copper-bound tripeptide (Ala-His-Lys), a close relative of GHK-Cu that differs by a single amino acid. Research has focused on hair follicle cells, dermal fibroblasts, and how a small change in copper-peptide structure changes activity in the lab. Supplied as a research peptide for laboratory use only. Not for human or veterinary use.

  • Studied in hair follicle and dermal papilla cell models

What AHK-Cu Is Being Studied For

✓

Hair Follicle Models

The most-cited work uses cultured human dermal papilla cells and isolated hair follicles, measuring cell growth, cell survival and follicle elongation in the lab.

✓

Fibroblasts and Collagen

Cell-culture research looks at how dermal fibroblasts produce collagen and elastin and remodel the surrounding matrix when exposed to copper peptides.

✓

The Copper Is the Point

AHK binds copper(II) through its histidine and peptide backbone, much like GHK. Researchers study the peptide and the metal together, and compare AHK-Cu with GHK-Cu to see how one amino acid changes the result.

The Research Record

Examples of Studies Conducted to Date

Here is a plain summary of what the published work on AHK-Cu has actually looked at. These findings describe the studies themselves; they are not claims about what this material will do for anyone.

Dermal Papilla Cell Studies

A 2007 study (Pyo et al., Archives of Pharmacal Research) looked at AHK-Cu on cultured human dermal papilla cells and isolated hair follicles, measuring proliferation, apoptosis and follicle elongation in vitro.

Copper-Peptide Comparisons

Other laboratory work places AHK-Cu next to GHK-Cu and related copper peptides to compare copper binding, fibroblast activity and collagen output in cell culture.

For Qualified Researchers

Handling & Reconstitution

1

Store Properly

Keep lyophilized vials cold and protected from light, following standard peptide handling practice.

2

Reconstitute With BAC Water

Bacteriostatic water (sold separately) is commonly used to reconstitute lyophilized research peptides for in-vitro study.

3

Document Everything

Record lot numbers, concentrations, and conditions to keep laboratory results reproducible.

THIRD-PARTY TESTED FOR PURITY

Every lot of AHK-Cu is supplied with identity and purity testing so your research begins from a known material. Because these are research chemicals, peptides are non-returnable once shipped except in the case of a verified shipping error or defective product.

AHK-Cu — Questions, Answered.

AHK-Cu is a synthetic copper-binding tripeptide made of alanine, histidine and lysine. It is a close relative of GHK-Cu, with alanine in place of glycine. It is studied in hair follicle, dermal papilla and fibroblast cell models. We supply it as a research peptide.
No. It is for laboratory research only. It is not a drug or supplement, is not approved for human or veterinary use, and must not be consumed.
Mostly hair follicle research: dermal papilla cell growth and survival, and follicle elongation in vitro. Also fibroblast and collagen work, and side-by-side comparisons with GHK-Cu.
We cannot tell you that. What is published describes what happened in specific studies under specific conditions, and that is not a forecast for anyone else. If you want to read the research yourself, the compound name to search is AHK-Cu.
As a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder, 100mg per vial, with a certificate of analysis available for identity and purity.
Add 5 vials of the same peptide and $60 is automatically deducted in the cart. Buy 10 and you save $120 — it is $60 off for every 5.
No. We cannot provide dosing, protocols, or medical guidance. Research design is the responsibility of the qualified purchaser.
Because they are research chemicals, peptides are non-returnable once shipped except for verified shipping errors or defective product. See our published policies for details.
