AHK-Cu is the copper(II) complex of the tripeptide L-alanyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine. The imidazole of the histidine and the N-terminal amine coordinate a single copper ion, and the material is provided as a pre-formed complex rather than as a free peptide and copper salt. It is a close structural parent of GHK-Cu, differing only by the first residue.
AHK-Cu is used in research on dermal papilla cells, fibroblasts, and hair follicle organ cultures as a copper-delivering tripeptide. Provided as a lyophilized powder in 50 mg and 100 mg vials.
IDENTITY: Copper(II) Ala-His-Lys complex. Free tripeptide C15H26N6O4, molar mass 354.4 g/mol; the complex adds one copper ion (approx. 63.5 g/mol).
Lyophilized: -20?C. Reconstituted: 2-8?C, use within 30 days. Protect from light.

Delivery issues
Check the delivery address before submitting the order. If tracking shows a delay, damage, or delivery exception, retain the packaging and contact support with the order number and photographs when relevant. See the Shipping Policy for the full policy.
Documented from receipt to release
Every catalogue item is identified by product, labelled size, and lot or batch. Receiving records preserve the supplier reference, arrival condition, and storage destination. A batch remains distinct in the catalogue so its documentation can be reviewed without relying on a general product claim.
Analytical records
Where a third-party laboratory report is available, the batch record links the reported purity, test date, method, laboratory, and report number to the uploaded certificate. A product-level purity statement is a catalogue specification, while the certificate records the result reported for one batch.
Release and status controls
- Confirm product identity and labelled amount against receiving records.
- Review packaging condition and storage history.
- Associate the analytical report with the correct batch.
- Mark one batch as current and preserve prior records as archived.
- Hold or remove catalogue availability when documentation is incomplete.
