A copper(II)-bound tripeptide complex [Cu2+·Ala-L-His-L-Lys] (CAS 682809-81-0), a structural analog of GHK-Cu substituting alanine for glycine at position 1. Studied primarily in hair-follicle biology, where it stimulates dermal-papilla cell VEGF expression and extends the anagen phase of the hair-growth cycle in rodent models. Used in topical hair-loss and scalp-care formulations; lower commercial volume than GHK-Cu.
