Research Overview
Cartalax is a synthetic tetrapeptide bioregulator with the sequence Ala-Glu-Asp-Leu, developed by the Khavinson group at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology as a tissue-targeted peptide designed to modulate gene expression in cartilage. Preclinical research has studied Cartalax as a research tool in cartilage biology, examining effects on chondrocyte function, extracellular matrix component regulation, and connective tissue gene expression in cell and animal-based models. BME Health supplies Cartalax as a lyophilized high-purity research peptide. Supplied exclusively for laboratory and research use.
Preclinical studies have examined Cartalax within the framework of Khavinson short peptide bioregulator research, investigating its tissue-targeted effects on chondrocyte cell biology, extracellular matrix protein expression, and cartilage-associated gene regulation in cell and animal models. As a tetrapeptide bioregulator, Cartalax belongs to a class of short peptides proposed to interact with gene promoter regions in a tissue-selective manner — an area of ongoing investigation in the peptide bioregulator field. It provides a research tool for musculoskeletal and connective tissue biology investigations. All outcomes referenced do not constitute evidence of clinical efficacy or safety in humans.
