Mechanism of Action
Copper Peptide AHK modulates BMP (bone morphogenetic protein) and Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathways in hair follicle stem cells, promoting the transition from telogen (resting) to anagen (growth) phase. The peptide increases expression of alkaline phosphatase and versican, markers of functional dermal papilla inductive capacity.
