What is AHK-Cu?
AHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-3) is an advanced synthetic peptide-copper complex consisting of three amino acids—Alanine, Histidine, and Lysine—chelated to a copper ion (Cu²⁺). It represents a next-generation copper peptide developed as an analog of the well-known GHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-1), with enhanced specificity for hair follicle stimulation and scalp tissue regeneration.
First synthesized and characterized in the early 2000s, AHK-Cu was designed through rational peptide engineering to optimize hair growth signaling while maintaining the beneficial collagen-stimulating and wound-healing properties of copper peptides. The key structural difference lies in the substitution of glycine (in GHK-Cu) with alanine in the first position, creating a peptide with distinct biological properties and receptor binding characteristics.
