AHK-Cu is a copper-binding tripeptide composed of alanine, histidine, and lysine. It is studied in laboratory settings for its interactions with copper-dependent biological pathways and its potential role in cellular signaling and extracellular matrix activity in cell-culture models.

AHK-Cu is structurally related to other copper peptides but has distinct characteristics that make it of interest in research involving dermal biology, hair-follicle cell models, fibroblast signaling, and peptide-copper interactions.
