Description
Product Overview
AHK-Cu is a copper-peptide complex formed from the tripeptide Ala-His-Lys (AHK) associated with copper(II). Its defined three-residue peptide structure and copper-binding characteristics make it a useful research material for controlled biochemical, cellular and peptide-interaction studies.
Pronoia supplies AHK-Cu as a 100mg lyophilised research material for laboratory research, analytical investigation and controlled experimental use.

Research Context
AHK-Cu has been investigated as a defined copper-tripeptide complex in experimental models examining peptide interactions with dermal and follicular cell systems.
Published experimental work involving AHK-Cu has included:
- Ex-vivo human hair-follicle models
- Cultured human dermal papilla-cell models
- Cell-proliferation responses in specialised fibroblast populations
- Peptide–copper interactions within controlled biological research systems
- Cellular signalling and growth-factor-associated responses
