About the reference identity
The chemistry behind the name
AHK spells out a three-amino-acid sequence: alanine, histidine and lysine. Cu is the chemical symbol for copper in the named complex. That first letter distinguishes AHK from GHK, which begins with glycine. A peptide sequence, its copper complex and a particular salt form are distinct identity details.
