AHK-cu

What is it?

AHK-Cu (Ala-His-Lys-Cu) is a synthetic copper-complexed tripeptide analog derived from the human plasma peptide GHK-Cu. The AHK sequence differs from the natural GHK (Gly-His-Lys) by a single amino acid substitution (Alanine for Glycine). Supplied as a lyophilized powder for laboratory investigations into peptide-copper complex stability, collagen synthesis stimulation, antioxidant pathways, and cellular models of tissue repair and remodeling. Research focuses on comparing its structure-activity relationship and efficacy to the native GHK-Cu peptide. Each batch is verified for identity, copper-chelation status, and purity using HPLC and mass spectrometry. Supplied as: Lyophilized powder Purity: >98 (HPLC verified) Storage: Store desiccated at -20°C, protected from light and moisture. Reconstituted solutions should be used immediately or stored frozen at -80°C for short periods to prevent copper dissociation and peptide degradation. Designation: FOR RESEARCH USE ONLY. Not intended for human or animal consumption
