AHK-Cu — Vendor Pricing & Purity Guide
Research Overview
AHK-Cu (Alanyl-Histidyl-Lysyl-Copper) is a copper-binding tripeptide related to GHK-Cu but with a different amino acid sequence. Like GHK-Cu, the copper ion is essential for biological activity. AHK-Cu has demonstrated hair growth stimulation and wound healing properties in research models.
AHK-Cu specifically stimulates the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway in dermal papilla cells, promoting hair follicle growth and cycling.
Key Research Findings
- •Stimulated Wnt/beta-catenin signaling in dermal papilla cells for hair growth
- •Copper-dependent biological activity similar to GHK-Cu family
- •Promoted wound healing and tissue repair
- •Showed specific activity on hair follicle cycling and growth
Research Dosage Protocols
Available as lyophilized powder. Used in research at concentrations similar to GHK-Cu. Also available in topical formulations for hair and skin research.
