Cartalax

Purity: ≥99% HPLC
Format: Lyophilized powder
Quantity: 20 mg per vial
SKU: Cartalax20

Product Overview

Cartalax is a synthetic short peptide bioregulator (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) from the Khavinson series developed from research on cartilage and connective tissue. Despite sharing its sequence with Cardiogen, tissue-specific effects have been proposed based on the biological context in which these peptide bioregulators were identified and validated.

Research applications focus on chondrocyte gene expression modulation, extracellular matrix component synthesis (including type II collagen and aggrecan), and cartilage tissue maintenance in age-related degeneration models. Cartalax is studied as a research tool for examining whether short-sequence peptide bioregulators can selectively influence gene expression programs in a tissue-specific manner, as well as their potential applications in osteoarthritis and joint aging models.

Research Applications

Cartalax has been examined in experimental studies related to:

• Chondrocyte gene expression and short peptide bioregulator pharmacology
• Type II collagen and aggrecan ECM synthesis research
• Cartilage tissue maintenance and age-related degeneration models
• Osteoarthritis and joint aging preclinical research
• Tissue-specific peptide bioregulator selectivity studies
• Comparison with other connective tissue bioregulators

Handling and Storage (Laboratory Guidance)

This product is supplied as a lyophilized peptide powder.

Typical laboratory handling recommendations include:

• Store at 2–8 °C upon receipt.
• Protect from heat, moisture, and direct light.
• Avoid excessive agitation of the solution to maintain peptide stability.
• Reconstitution, if required for laboratory experiments, should be performed using appropriate sterile laboratory techniques.
• Use of acetic acid water (0.6%) or sterile bacteriostatic water is recommended for peptides with low aqueous solubility.
