AHK-Cu

£29.90

In stock
AHK-Cu is a specialized copper-binding peptide researched for its ability to promote hair follicle proliferation, inhibit apoptosis, and support angiogenesis in scalp tissue.

Description

AHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-3) is a synthetic copper-binding peptide comprised of the amino acid sequence Alanine-Histidine-Lysine. It is primarily researched for its potential to stimulate hair growth by promoting the proliferation of dermal papilla cells and inhibiting apoptosis in hair follicles. Additionally, AHK-Cu facilitates the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), supporting angiogenesis and improved nutrient delivery to the scalp.

Description & Mechanism
AHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-3) is a synthetic copper-binding peptide comprised of the amino acid sequence Alanine-Histidine-Lysine. It is primarily researched for its potential to stimulate hair growth by promoting the proliferation of dermal papilla cells and inhibiting apoptosis in hair follicles. Additionally, AHK-Cu facilitates the secretion of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), supporting angiogenesis and improved nutrient delivery to the scalp.

  • Hair Growth Promotion: Investigated for its ability to prolong the anagen (growth) phase of hair follicles and reduce follicular miniaturization.

  • Angiogenesis: Research suggests it stimulates VEGF production, enhancing blood flow and nutrient delivery to dermal tissues.

  • Extracellular Matrix Support: Promotes the synthesis of collagen and elastin, contributing to tissue repair and scalp health.

  • Apoptosis Inhibition: Shown to reduce programmed cell death in dermal papilla cells.

  • Formulation: Lyophilized powder.

  • Storage: -20°C for powder, -80°C for reconstituted solution.

  • Reconstitution: Bacteriostatic water or sterile saline.

  • Purity: ≥99% (HPLC)

  • Grade: Research Grade

  • Appearance: Blue to pale blue lyophilized powder

  • Solubility: Soluble in water
