Overview
Cartalax is a short synthetic peptide from the Khavinson bioregulator series, reported as the tripeptide Ala-Glu-Asp. It is studied in laboratory models of connective tissue and cartilage matrix signaling.
History
Developed within the peptide bioregulator program at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology, which produced a family of short peptides each associated with a specific tissue in the published Russian literature.
Cartalax among the Khavinson short peptides
This catalogue stocks three peptides from the Khavinson bioregulator series, and their sequences are short enough that the relationships between them are worth setting out.
Cartalax is reported as the tripeptide Ala-Glu-Asp (AED). Epithalon is the tetrapeptide Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly (AEDG) — the same three residues with a glycine added. Pinealon is Glu-Asp-Arg (EDR), a different sequence again.
So Cartalax and Epithalon overlap substantially while Pinealon does not, and comparative work across the series is a standard way of probing how much of the reported activity tracks with sequence length versus composition. At three and four residues these are short enough that a single residue is a large proportion of the molecule.
Cartalax specifically is studied in connective tissue and cartilage matrix models, which is where it separates from the others in the series by application rather than by chemistry.
Handling
At tripeptide scale Cartalax dissolves readily in bacteriostatic or sterile water and is among the more robust compounds in the catalogue — the shear and foaming problems that affect multi-kilodalton peptides do not apply.
Identity confirmation matters more than usual on the short bioregulators precisely because they are short: three-residue sequences are easy to synthesise and correspondingly easy to mis-specify, and mass alone distinguishes them poorly. The per-lot Certificate of Analysis documents identity and purity for exactly this reason.
Lyophilised material is stored at -20°C protected from light; reconstituted solution is refrigerated at 2-8°C. General reagent handling guidance only.
