AHK-cu (100MG)

Coming Soon

Nomenclature & Synonyms

AHK-cu, known as Copper Tripeptide-1 or Glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine-Cu2+, is a copper-binding peptide tripeptide complex. It has been referred to as GHK-Cu in some literature, derived from sequences similar to pro-collagen fragments but differs in its composition by including a bound copper ion.

Structural Characteristics

The amino acid sequence for AHK-cu is H-Gly-His-Lys-OH with a Cu2+ ion chelated to the histidine residue. It consists of three amino acids, with the histidine facilitating copper binding. Specific structural modifications include the formation of a stable complex with copper, contributing to its biological activity through redox reactions.

Molecular Pharmacology

AHK-cu interacts with cellular pathways involving matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and fibroblast growth factors. It indirectly influences pathways such as MAPK/ERK to promote wound healing and tissue remodeling but does not directly bind to classical receptors like GLP-1R or β3-AR. The exact pharmacological action includes modulation instead of traditional agonist or antagonist activity, primarily due to its copper-binding capacity.

Research Applications

  • Studies have demonstrated AHK-cu's role in enhancing fibroblast proliferation.
  • It has been shown to promote collagen synthesis and angiogenesis in vitro.
  • Research indicates AHK-cu’s effects on hair follicle stimulation and extracellular matrix regulation.

Technical Properties

AHK-cu is soluble in water at concentrations sufficient for biochemical investigations, typically recommended at reconstitution concentrations between 0.2-1 mg/mL. Stability has been maintained in lyophilized form at room temperature for extended durations, while reconstituted peptide should be used promptly or stored at -20°C to -80°C to maintain activity.

Compliance

For laboratory research use only. Not for human or veterinary use. Not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or preventive applications.
