Description
AHK-Cu is a copper(II) complex of the tripeptide alanyl-histidyl-lysine (Ala-His-Lys), also listed as copper tripeptide-3. It is a close structural relative of GHK-Cu (glycyl-histidyl-lysine copper): the two differ only in the first amino acid, alanine in place of glycine.
Durham Peptides stocks both copper peptides domestically for researchers running comparative work.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS AHK-CU?
A copper(II) complex of the tripeptide Ala-His-Lys, also known as copper tripeptide-3.
AHK-CU VS GHK-CU — WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
Both are copper complexes of a three-amino-acid peptide ending in His-Lys. AHK-Cu starts with alanine; GHK-Cu starts with glycine. Durham Peptides stocks both.
HOW SHOULD AHK-CU BE STORED AND RECONSTITUTED?
Keep sealed, lyophilized vials frozen (−20°C), protected from light and moisture. Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water (sold separately). Once reconstituted, keep the vial refrigerated at 2–8°C, away from light.
HOW IS IT SHIPPED IN CANADA?
Orders placed and paid before 3:00 PM ET ship the same business day via Canada Post Xpresspost with tracking. Shipping is domestic from within Canada, so there are no customs delays or border holds.
IS THERE A COA?
Yes. Every vial carries a lot number, and certificates are published at durhampeptides.ca/lab-results as independent third-party testing of each batch completes.
