Product profile
About AHK-CU
"AHK-Cu (Copper Tripeptide-3) is a bioactive copper-peptide complex consisting of the amino acids Alanine, Histidine, and Lysine bound to a copper ion. The chemical structure is AHK-Cu²⁺, with the formula C₁₅H₂₄CuN₆O₄. As a copper peptide, its core value lies in its ability to act as a small-molecule signal that promotes the growth and differentiation of various cells, particularly demonstrating significant effects on hair follicle biology and dermal fibroblast activity.
Functionally, AHK-Cu is part of the same copper peptide family as GHK-Cu, but it is better known for its specific research in stimulating hair growth, making it a promising hair growth promoter."
Main functions
"1.Promotes Hair Growth: In ex vivo human hair follicle organ culture models, AHK-Cu was observed to stimulate the elongation of hair follicles. One study reported that AHK-Cu treatment increased hair shaft elongation by over 155%. The mechanism is thought to involve stimulating the proliferation of Dermal Papilla Cells (DPCs), a key cell type for hair follicles.
2.Reduces Follicular Cell Apoptosis: Apoptosis of DPCs is a critical step in follicle regression. Studies show that AHK-Cu treatment can upregulate the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2, downregulate the pro-apoptotic protein Bax, and decrease the activity of Caspase-3 and PARP, thereby protecting hair follicle cells.
3.Promotes Dermal Cell Proliferation and Collagen Deposition: In vitro studies have shown that AHK-Cu stimulates the proliferation and viability of normal human dermal fibroblasts and can increase type I collagen production by up to 300% compared to controls. This helps renew the extracellular matrix, providing a healthier microenvironment for hair follicles."
Recommended audience
"Individuals concerned with hair follicle health, seeking topical solutions to improve hair quality and promote hair growth.
Individuals experiencing reduced follicle function due to aging or environmental stress, looking for localized care options."
