AHK (Tripeptide-3) 200mg (Topical)

AHK (Tripeptide-3) is a premium-grade synthetic topical research peptide engineered at ≥98% purity for advanced follicular biology, dermal papilla cell activation, and extracellular matrix remodeling investigations. Available exclusively from The Peptide Store for qualified laboratory procurement. For research use only. Not for human or veterinary use. Not for clinical, diagnostic, or consumptive applications.

Product Overview

AHK, formally designated as Tripeptide-3, represents a low molecular weight signaling peptide that has attracted significant attention across the dermal and follicular research communities. Its minimized three-amino-acid architecture provides researchers with a highly targeted biochemical tool capable of probing localized tissue restructuring, endothelial cell stabilization, and follicular growth dynamics within mammalian cutaneous models. The Peptide Store supplies this compound in a high-concentration 200mg configuration, offering exceptional value and research versatility for institutions requiring large-scale or longitudinal experimental protocols.

Peptide Structure & Amino Acid Sequence

AHK (Tripeptide-3) is composed of the sequential amino acid arrangement L-Alanyl-L-Histidyl-L-Lysine, a structurally compact tripeptide that belongs to the broader family of matrix-modulating signaling peptides. While structurally related to copper-binding peptide families, the uncomplexed AHK sequence functions as a discrete molecular probe, independent of metal coordination, making it particularly suitable for isolated investigation of cell-autonomous signaling cascades. Its low molecular weight is a defining pharmacokinetic advantage in topical research models, allowing enhanced interaction with the stratum corneum and outer root sheath architectures that typically present significant transport barriers to larger macromolecular compounds.

Purity & Analytical Verification (HPLC & MS)

Every batch of AHK (Tripeptide-3) supplied by The Peptide Store undergoes rigorous analytical verification prior to dispatch. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is employed to confirm peptide purity at ≥98%, ensuring that the active tripeptide fraction is present at research-grade concentrations without significant contaminant interference. Mass Spectrometry (MS) analysis is additionally applied to validate molecular identity, confirming that the correct amino acid sequence and molecular mass are present within each production lot. These dual verification protocols ensure that researchers receive a compound of consistent, reproducible quality suitable for publication-grade experimental work.

Quality Control & Lyophilization Integrity

AHK (Tripeptide-3) is produced under stringent quality control conditions designed to maintain structural integrity throughout the manufacturing and storage lifecycle. Lyophilization — a controlled freeze-drying process — is employed to remove residual moisture while preserving the peptide’s native conformation and biochemical activity. This process significantly extends shelf stability and minimizes the risk of degradation during transit and long-term laboratory storage. Each unit is sealed under inert conditions to prevent oxidative or hydrolytic degradation prior to reconstitution in the research environment.

Safety, Handling & Laboratory Precautions

AHK (Tripeptide-3) is supplied exclusively as a laboratory research reagent and must be handled in accordance with standard biochemical laboratory safety protocols. Researchers should wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, eye protection, and lab coats, when handling lyophilized peptide powders. This compound is not approved for human or veterinary administration, and must not be used in any clinical, diagnostic, therapeutic, or consumptive context. All handling, storage, and disposal must comply with applicable institutional biosafety guidelines and local regulatory frameworks.

Reconstitution, Packaging & Storage

AHK (Tripeptide-3) is supplied in lyophilized powder form and should be reconstituted using appropriate research-grade solvents as determined by the investigator’s specific experimental design. Reconstitution protocols are the sole responsibility of the receiving research institution. Upon receipt, the lyophilized product should be stored at −20°C in a dry, dark environment to maintain maximum stability. Once reconstituted, solutions should be aliquoted appropriately and stored at 4°C for short-term use, or returned to −20°C for extended storage. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles should be minimized to preserve peptide integrity.

Intended Research Use & Market Positioning

AHK (Tripeptide-3) is specifically positioned for use in advanced cutaneous biology, follicular research, and extracellular matrix remodeling studies. Its compact molecular architecture makes it an ideal probe for investigating dermal papilla cell activation, localized tissue regeneration kinetics, and endothelial stabilization pathways in mammalian skin models. The 200mg format is particularly well-suited for high-throughput screening programs, multi-arm experimental designs, and longitudinal studies requiring consistent supply of a single, verified compound. Researchers in dermatology, cosmetic biochemistry, and regenerative biology will find this configuration especially advantageous for sustained investigative programs.
