Research Overview
AHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide similar to GHK-Cu but with an alanine substitution. It demonstrates distinct gene expression modulation patterns.
Mechanism of Action
Copper-dependent gene expression modulation with distinct receptor binding profile from GHK-Cu, activating collagen and elastin synthesis pathways.
Research Applications
Comparative copper peptide studies, collagen synthesis research, wound research observation models, gene expression profiling, skin biology.
Key Research Findings
Distinct gene expression profile from GHK-Cu despite structural similarity. Enhanced elastin synthesis in fibroblast cultures.
