Research overview

About this compound

AHK-Cu is the copper(II) complex of the tripeptide L-alanyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine. It is structurally related to GHK-Cu, with alanine in place of glycine.

How it is used in research

It is used in cell-culture studies, mainly with dermal fibroblasts and dermal papilla cells.

Analytical characterization

Synthetic peptides are usually characterized by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which reports purity as the share of the main peak, and by mass spectrometry, which confirms that the measured molecular mass matches the expected sequence. Results for a specific lot appear under Lab results once they have been posted.
