AHK-Cu

Follicle activity and dermal firmness

R 845
100mg vial
Follicle elongationElongated cultured human hair follicles in Pyo et al. (2007) at picomolar to nanomolar concentrations.
Dermal papilla proliferationStimulated dermal papilla cell growth with an elevated Bcl-2/Bax ratio.
Anti-apoptotic signatureReduced cleaved caspase-3 and PARP in follicle cell work.
Angiogenic profileTripeptide-copper complexes raise VEGF output from dermal fibroblasts while suppressing TGF-β1.
AHK-Cu is L-alanyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine bound to copper — a tripeptide closely related to GHK-Cu but with alanine in place of glycine at the first residue. The substitution shifts its profile toward dermal-papilla and follicle activity. It signals through fibroblast and follicle pathways tied to proliferation, anti-apoptosis (Bcl-2/Bax) and VEGF release.
