This peptide has been suggested to exhibit its potential primarily on fibroblasts, responsible for maintaining and growing the extracellular matrix (ECM) components surrounding the cells. Fibroblasts also appear to secrete various biological substances, including the Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), which is suggested to promote the formation of new blood vessels.

The copper ion in AHK-Cu is suggested to be involved in enzyme activity related to collagen and elastin synthesis. These two proteins are critical components of the extracellular matrix and play a role in maintaining the skin tissues' structural integrity. Copper ions are also suggested to exhibit antioxidant properties.

What role does the copper(II) ion play in the structure of AHK-Cu?
AHK-Cu is posited to have potent antioxidant qualities, primarily due to its distinct amino acid structure. Based on the antioxidative properties of this peptide, studies have suggested its potential in amplifying hair follicle size, which may increase growth. This peptide has been the focus of numerous in-vitro investigations, particularly concerning its role in hair growth. These studies uniformly suggest AHK-Cu's potential to foster hair follicle development. In addition to hair growth, AHK-Cu's scope of application may extend to cell aging, wound healing, and other areas, according to researchers. They posit its potential role in boosting dermal cell multiplication and survival, both of which are essential in collagen production. Collagen is a vital element for maintaining skin cell turnover and function, and the increased cell activity provided by AHK-Cu may facilitate this process.
