AHK-CU
Contact Us →AHK-Cu (Copper Peptide, also known as Copper Tripeptide-1) is a copper-binding peptide complex consisting of alanine, histidine, and lysine. It has attracted growing interest in research focused on tissue regeneration, wound healing, and anti-aging applications.
Studies have shown that AHK-Cu activates matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and promotes the synthesis of collagen, elastin, and glycosaminoglycans. It may also play a role in anti-inflammatory modulation, angiogenesis stimulation, and protection against oxidative stress, making it a versatile research tool in dermatology and regenerative medicine.
Key Research Areas:
-
Collagen synthesis and extracellular matrix remodeling
-
Wound healing and tissue repair
-
Anti-aging and skin rejuvenation research
-
Copper-mediated enzyme activation (e.g., superoxide dismutase)
-
Hair follicle growth and dermal papilla cell regulation
