AHK-Cu
Copper-binding tripeptide (Ala-His-Lys) for hair follicle and angiogenesis research
Select size
For research purposes only. Not for human consumption.
Mechanism of Action
A copper-binding tripeptide (Ala-His-Lys) studied for its role in angiogenesis, hair follicle stimulation, and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression.
How It Works
- 1
Chelates copper ions and delivers them to follicular and vascular tissues
- 2
Upregulates VEGF expression to support new capillary formation
- 3
Stimulates dermal papilla cell proliferation in hair follicle research models
- 4
Modulates extracellular matrix remodeling around vascular beds
Key Research Benefits
- Angiogenesis research
- Hair follicle stimulation studies
- VEGF pathway investigation
- Microvascular remodeling
AHK-Cu is commonly paired with GHK-Cu in copper-peptide research, where AHK-Cu's angiogenic and follicle-targeted activity complements GHK-Cu's collagen and tissue remodeling effects.
