AHK-Cu 100mg

AHK-Cu (Ala-His-Lys-Cu) is a copper-binding tripeptide complex closely related to GHK-Cu, studied in extracellular-matrix (ECM) and metalloenzyme signaling research.

Research literature on copper tripeptide complexes has examined their role as cofactors in copper-dependent enzymatic reactions and as tools for studying matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) and collagen-related gene expression in cultured fibroblast models.

• GHK-Cu — a related compound frequently studied alongside AHK-Cu in comparative research designs.

For in-vitro assay preparation, researchers calculate a target concentration (mg/mL) from the vial's labeled mass and the volume of sterile diluent added, then aliquot and store per standard laboratory cold-chain practice. This is a laboratory dilution calculation only, performed strictly for analytical or in-vitro research purposes. Not for use in humans or animals.

Lyophilized powder should be stored at -20°C for long-term stability, or refrigerated (2-8°C) for short-term use, protected from light and moisture. Once reconstituted for laboratory use, follow standard cold-chain handling and use within the timeframe indicated by your institution's protocols.

AHK-Cu ships with a QR-linked, batch-specific certificate of analysis (COA) confirming identity and purity via HPLC. Researchers should always confirm the lot number on their vial matches the COA on file before beginning any assay.

This reference material is manufactured and quality-tested to support reproducible research outcomes. Every batch is independently verified before it ships, and COAs remain accessible for future reference.
