AHK-Cu (100mg)

AHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-3) is a bio-active copper peptide complex consisting of alanine, histidine, and lysine bound to a copper molecule ($\text{Cu}^{2+}$). Widely utilized in dermal and extracellular matrix (ECM) research, AHK-Cu plays a fundamental role in investigating collagen production pathways, follicular cell dynamics, and localized skin tissue regeneration mechanisms. True Lab Peptides supplies AHK-Cu at an independently verified purity level of $\ge$99%, providing research institutions and laboratory settings with an exceptionally consistent standard for advanced molecular and cellular analysis.

Key Research Applications

• Dermal & Extracellular Matrix Studies: Engineered for investigating fibroblast stimulation, collagen synthesis, and ECM remodeling pathways.

• Follicular & Cellular Longevity Research: Utilized to evaluate localized cellular proliferation and hair follicle microenvironment interactions.

• In Vitro Signaling & Receptor Assays: Serves as a precise standard for analyzing pathway activation, cellular viability, and tissue response models.

• Analytical Characterization: Ideal reference compound for High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and quantitative mass spectrometry workflows.
