Description
A single-component research material supplied for controlled research environments. Cartalax is a synthetic tetrapeptide bioregulator (Ala-Glu-Asp-Pro) from the Khavinson short-peptide family, studied for its association with cartilage and connective-tissue gene expression in model systems.
Composition
• Cartalax (Ala-Glu-Asp-Pro), 20 mg
• Appearance: Lyophilized powder in a sealed research vial
Research Focus (non-clinical)
• Chondrocyte senescence marker expression (p16, p21) in aged-cell models
• Sirt1 and type II collagen expression in cartilage tissue culture
• Short-peptide bioregulator mechanism studies and gene-expression profiling
• Comparative work alongside other Khavinson-family bioregulators
Handling
• Store lyophilized material refrigerated and protected from light
• Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water; refrigerate after reconstitution
• For laboratory and research use only
Certificate of Analysis
Every batch is tested by an independent analytical laboratory and a Certificate of
Analysis is issued for that lot. Look up the certificate for your lot in the
Certificate of Analysis library using the lot number from the
vial flag label.
