AHK-Cu 50mg – High-Purity Research Peptide

AHK-Cu is a synthetic copper-binding tripeptide of particular interest in preclinical research on hair follicle biology, dermal papilla cell activity, skin regeneration and cellular signalling. In an ex-vivo human hair follicle study, it was investigated for its effects on follicle elongation and dermal papilla cell proliferation.

AHK-Cu should not be confused with GHK-Cu. Both are copper-binding tripeptides, but AHK-Cu contains alanine as its first amino acid, whereas GHK-Cu contains glycine.

Supplied as a lyophilised powder. The material may be reconstituted using an appropriate laboratory-grade solvent in accordance with the relevant research protocol. Allow the vial and solvent to reach laboratory temperature and gently swirl until dissolved. Avoid vigorous agitation and unnecessary exposure to heat or light.

Reconstitution volumes and concentrations should be determined by the laboratory’s own validated protocol.

Unopened: store in a cool, dry and dark environment, protected from light, moisture and excessive heat. Refrigerated storage at 2–8°C may be appropriate.

After reconstitution: store at 2–8°C, protected from light. For extended storage, aliquoting and freezing at −20°C may be appropriate where supported by the relevant stability protocol. Avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles.
