Description
AHK-Cu — 100 mg | Research Use Only
Product Overview AHK-Cu (100 mg/vial) is a copper-binding tripeptide complex composed of the amino acid sequence alanine-histidine-lysine (AHK) coordinated with copper(II) ions. This product is supplied strictly for laboratory and in-vitro research applications. It is not a drug, cosmetic, dietary supplement, or consumer product, and is not labeled, marketed, or intended for human or animal use, topical application, consumption, diagnosis, treatment, mitigation, or prevention of any disease or condition.
Research Applications AHK-Cu is studied in vitro for its copper-chelation properties and its behavior in cell-culture and biochemical models investigating metalloenzyme activity, extracellular matrix signaling, and peptide-metal complex stability. Suitable for researchers working in dermal fibroblast models, copper-peptide chemistry, and related structural or mechanistic study. No statement here implies or suggests any outcome, benefit, or effect in humans or animals.
