What Is AHK-Cu?
AHK-Cu is supplied as a laboratory research material described as a copper complex of the tripeptide alanyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine (Ala-His-Lys). It is intended for controlled experimental work involving copper-peptide chemistry, coordination behavior, and molecular interactions.
PQRS supplies AHK-Cu strictly as a research material. It is not intended for human or veterinary use.
AHK-Cu Molecular Profile
Molecular / Identity Profile
- Material Type: Copper-peptide complex / tripeptide research material
- Core Identity: Copper complex of the tripeptide Ala-His-Lys
- Supplied Quantity: 1 g per container
- Molecular Formula, Molecular Weight, and PubChem CID: Not asserted without product-specific analytical documentation
Identity Note: Copper-peptide materials can differ in complex stoichiometry, counter-ions, and hydration state. PQRS therefore does not assign a single formula, molecular weight, or PubChem CID unless the exact product construct is confirmed by product-specific analytical documentation.
Research Context
Researchers should interpret AHK-Cu according to product-specific analytical documentation and the experimental system being used. Properties should not be inferred from GHK-Cu or other related copper peptides, because a change in the peptide sequence can materially change chemical behavior.
Laboratory Research Applications
- Coordination chemistry: Study of copper binding and complex stability in controlled laboratory systems.
- Comparative peptide research: Comparison with GHK-Cu and other related copper-peptide systems under controlled laboratory conditions.
- Analytical characterization: Evaluation of identity, purity, and stability using appropriate analytical methods.
Handling and Preparation
Handle using appropriate laboratory personal protective equipment and validated laboratory procedures. Store and prepare according to the product label, analytical documentation, and laboratory-specific protocol.
For Research Use Only. Not intended for human or veterinary use.
