What is AHK-Cu?
AHK-Cu is a specialized copper-binding peptide complex consisting of the amino acid sequence Alanine-Histidine-Lysine chelated to a copper(II) ion. While structural similarities exist between AHK-Cu and GHK-Cu, AHK-Cu is predominantly investigated for its specific affinity toward dermal papilla cells and extracellular matrix components.
In biochemical and cellular research models, AHK-Cu is studied for its potential influence on:
-
Collagen & Extracellular Matrix Production: Evaluated for its capacity to stimulate Type I collagen synthesis and dermal fibroblast activity.
-
Follicular Biology: Investigated in dermal papilla cell cultures for its role in supporting hair follicle elongation and apoptosis prevention.
-
Vascularization Signaling: Researched for its impact on endothelial growth factor expression and microvascular support in tissue repair models.
Why Source AHK-Cu from Peptology Labs UK?
Precise experimental outcomes depend on consistent peptide synthesis and purity. Peptology peptides UK quality protocols ensure that every vial of AHK-Cu 100mg is free from residual sequence impurities or heavy metal contamination.
Product Quality Highlights
-
Verified Purity: Every lot undergoes rigorous High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) to ensure $\ge 99\%$ purity.
-
Mass Verification: Mass Spectrometry (MS) testing confirms proper sequence synthesis and copper complexation.
-
Inert Packaging: Lyophilized under vacuum and sealed to protect against humidity and enzymatic breakdown during transit.
-
UK-Based Dispatch: Shipped directly from domestic storage facilities to eliminate international customs holds and long shipping delays.
Reconstitution & Handling Guidelines
To maintain peptide stability and prevent oxidation during laboratory procedures:
-
Equilibration: Allow the unopened vial to adjust to room temperature prior to reconstituting to prevent condensation inside the container.
-
Reconstitution: Solubilize using sterile Bacteriostatic Water or an appropriate laboratory buffer according to your specific assay requirements.
-
Storage Parameters: Store unopened lyophilized vials at $-20^\circ\text{C}$. Once reconstituted, keep solutions at $2^\circ\text{C}$–$8^\circ\text{C}$ for short-term use, or aliquot and store at $-20^\circ\text{C}$ to avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
Frequently Asked Questions
