🌟AHK-CU

AHK-Cu

AHK-Cu is a copper-complexed tripeptide based on the amino-acid sequence Ala–His–Lys (AHK). The parent peptide AHK is L-alanyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine, while AHK-Cu refers to its copper-coordinated form. It is supplied for controlled laboratory, analytical, and scientific research involving peptide characterization, metal–peptide interactions, molecular stability, and structure–activity studies.

PubChem lists the parent AHK peptide under CID 7408502, with sequence AHK, molecular formula C15H26N6O4, and molecular weight 354.41 g/mol.

About AHK-Cu

AHK-Cu is formed from the tripeptide Ala–His–Lys coordinated with copper. The histidine-containing sequence provides a defined molecular framework for studying copper–peptide interactions and related biochemical properties.

The parent AHK peptide itself has CAS 126828-32-8, PubChem CID 7408502, and the condensed sequence H-Ala-His-Lys-OH.

AHK-Cu Copper Complex

PubChem separately lists an AHK-Cu monohydrochloride form under CID 168431292, CAS 682809-81-0, with molecular formula C15H24ClCuN6O4 and molecular weight 451.39 g/mol.

That distinction matters: the exact molecular formula and molecular weight for the product page depend on whether your AVM material is supplied as the free copper complex, hydrochloride, another salt, or hydrated form. For that reason, your batch-specific COA should be the final reference before we place one exact AHK-Cu formula or CAS on the product page.

Research Status

AHK-Cu is used as a research material in laboratory and analytical environments. Its availability as a research compound does not establish it as an approved therapeutic product.

AVM Labs USA Research Standard
