Description
AHK-Cu (Alanine-Histidine-Lysine Copper Tripeptide-3) is a synthetic copper-binding tripeptide complex studied for its role in tissue repair, skin regeneration, and hair follicle signaling. It belongs to a class of molecules known as copper peptides, which act as biological messengers that influence gene expression involved in repair and remodeling processes.
Unlike simple cosmetic ingredients that only moisturize or coat the skin, AHK-Cu interacts with cells at a signaling level. Research suggests it may promote collagen synthesis, cellular turnover, and stem cell activation, making it of interest in anti-aging and regenerative science.
It is most often used in experimental skincare and hair growth formulations where controlled copper delivery is desired.
