Copper-binding tripeptide studied in follicular and dermal research.

Overview

AHK-Cu (alanyl-histidyl-lysine copper) is a copper-binding tripeptide closely related to GHK-Cu, studied primarily in hair follicle and dermal papilla research rather than general dermal remodelling.

Research applications

  • Dermal papilla cell proliferation in research models
  • Follicular growth phase signalling
  • VEGF expression and local microcirculation
  • Collagen synthesis pathways
  • Copper delivery to the cell

Mechanism of action

Binds a copper ion through its histidine residue and carries it into the cell. Research reports upregulation of VEGF and stimulation of dermal papilla cells, the population governing follicular cycling.
