Technical specifications
- Type
- Peptide
- Scientific name
- L-Alanyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper(II) complex, monohydrochloride (AHK-Cu)
- Amino acids
- 3
- Sequence
- AHK
- Molecular weight
- 451.39 g/mol (Cu(II) complex monohydrochloride, PubChem CID 168431292); free tripeptide AHK 354.41 g/mol (PubChem CID 7408502)
- Formula
- C15H24ClCuN6O4 (Cu(II) complex, monohydrochloride); free tripeptide Ala-His-Lys is C15H26N6O4
- CAS
- 682809-81-0
- Origin
- Synthetic Ala-His-Lys tripeptide chelated to Cu(II); a positional analogue of the plasma copper peptide GHK-Cu, studied ex vivo in human hair follicles and dermal papilla cells.
- Lyophilized (powder)
- -20°C, sealed and protected from light · stable long-term
- Reconstituted
- 2-8°C, protected from light · use within ~30 days; avoid repeated freeze-thaw and avoid chelating or strongly reducing buffers that can strip the Cu(II)
- Room temperature
- Lyophilized powder tolerates short ambient shipping excursions, but prolonged storage above ~25°C — especially with humidity or light exposure — promotes moisture uptake, peptide-bond hydrolysis and dissociation/redox turnover of the copper complex. No published stability study specific to AHK-Cu was located, so these are class-standard copper-peptide handling conditions, not literature-derived specifications.
