AHK-Cu (Alanine Histidine Lysine Copper) is a copper binding tripeptide structurally related to GHK-Cu but distinct in its amino acid composition, replacing GHK-Cu’s glycine residue with alanine, a modification that produces measurably different biological activity despite the shared copper chelating tripeptide framework. Hudson Science’s formulation supplies 100mg as a lyophilized vial, preserving peptide structural integrity and copper binding capacity across storage conditions until reconstitution.
Research directly comparing AHK-Cu and GHK-Cu has identified some notable differences in their biological activity profiles. While both peptides share copper dependent activity relevant to tissue remodeling and antioxidant function, AHK-Cu has been documented in comparative research as producing more pronounced effects on certain skin related endpoints, including antioxidant activity and melanogenesis related pathways, in some study models. Distinguishing its research applications from GHK-Cu’s more extensively documented collagen synthesis and general wound healing profile. This structural and functional distinction positions AHK-Cu as a complementary rather than interchangeable research compound relative to GHK-Cu within copper peptide research.
Like GHK-Cu, AHK-Cu’s biological activity operates through both its peptide sequence and its bound copper ion; copper serving as an essential cofactor for enzymes including lysyl oxidase, which cross links collagen and elastin in extracellular matrix formation, and copper/zinc superoxide dismutase, which contributes to cellular antioxidant defense. The specific amino acid substitution distinguishing AHK-Cu from GHK-Cu is an active area of comparative peptide research examining how minor structural variations in copper binding tripeptides influence receptor interaction, tissue penetration, and downstream biological activity.
Hudson Science formulations are stocked by Canada Steroid Depot following the same rigorous third party lab verification process applied to every product in our range. Each batch is tested for concentration accuracy and purity before being made available, with COA documentation available on request. CSD stocks both AHK-Cu and GHK-Cu across multiple formats, giving researchers access to both copper tripeptide compounds for comparative structure activity research from a single verified Canadian supplier. All orders ship discreetly across Canada in plain, unmarked packaging with no identifying information on the exterior.
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water prior to use. Store lyophilized peptide at 2–8°C away from direct light. Once reconstituted refrigerate and use within 28 days. Intended for research purposes only.
