AHK-CU
Literature-based research context for laboratory reference only.
AHK-CU is a synthetic copper-binding tripeptide (L-alanyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine-Cu2+) designed to study hair follicle biology and dermal remodeling. Preclinical research indicates it promotes dermal papilla cell proliferation and stimulates vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression to enhance microvascular networks.

Overview
AHK-CU is presented here as a laboratory reference entry. The Research Profile summarizes literature-based biological context, while this Overview documents the identity record, specification set, preparation format, and quality-reference information available on the page.
The identity block lists CAS number 682809-81-0, molecular formula C₁₅H₂₄CuN₆O₄, and molecular weight 415.93 Da. The material record is paired with ≥99% purity information and a lyophilized presentation for reference review.
Available specification labels include 50mg and 100mg. The active selection is 50mg; changing the selector updates the visible specification label and COA lot references while preserving the same research-reference context.
For the active selection, the page currently shows 1 active COA lot reference. COA links, when present, are retained for batch-level purity, identity, and quantity review, while packaging and storage details remain separated in Structure & Identity.
