Cartalax peptide is a member of the peptide bioregulator family developed by the St. Petersburg Institute, recognized for its specificity in modulating cellular processes related to connective tissue and cartilage. This tripeptide structure mirrors a segment of the alpha-1 chain of type XI collagen, making it valuable for studying cartilage integrity and tissue regeneration.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"peptide-details\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eMechanism of Action\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"peptide-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCartalax exerts its biological effects through direct DNA interaction, binding to the minor groove of DNA and potentially influencing gene expression patterns tied to cellular senescence. It modulates key cellular pathways by stimulating the proliferation of stem and progenitor cells, enhancing markers of cell proliferation such as Ki-67 and CD98hc, and reducing apoptosis through suppression of caspase-3 activity. The peptide inhibits matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) that degrade cartilage, while simultaneously curbing inflammatory signaling molecules. It also demonstrates antioxidant properties and normalizes extracellular matrix homeostasis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"peptide-details\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eResearch Applications\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"peptide-content\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCartilage and Connective Tissue Research:\u003c\/strong\u003e Investigated for its ability to modulate chondrocyte signaling, extracellular matrix synthesis, and cartilage metabolism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTissue Regeneration and Repair:\u003c\/strong\u003e Employed in experimental models exploring scaffold-based cartilage reconstruction and the optimization of bioengineered tissues.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAging and Geroprotective Studies:\u003c\/strong\u003e Studied for its anti-aging effects on skin fibroblasts, including inhibition of MMP-9 and enhancement of cell proliferation markers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignal Transduction and Molecular Biology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Utilized as a model ligand in receptor binding assays and downstream signaling studies to elucidate peptide-mediated signal transduction within connective tissue cells.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails class=\"peptide-details\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"peptide-content\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCAS Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 205640-90-0 (reported variant: 121062-08-6)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePubChem CID:\u003c\/strong\u003e 87815447\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMolecular Formula:\u003c\/strong\u003e C₁₂H₁₉N₃O₈\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMolecular Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 333.29 g\/mol\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSequence:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ala-Glu-Asp (AED)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePurity:\u003c\/strong\u003e ≥ 98% (batch-dependent; refer to Certificate of Analysis)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e White to off-white lyophilized powder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Store at 2–8°C (refrigerated), protected from light; lyophilized powder may also be stored at -20°C\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSolubility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soluble in sterile water; prepare working solutions per laboratory protocol\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"yuansensetech","offers":[{"title":"CX 20mg","offer_id":52038356402466,"sku":"CX20","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/2805\/3794\/files\/Cartalax.jpg?v=1783741739","url":"https:\/\/yuansensepeptide.com\/products\/cartalax","provider":"Yuansensetech™","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
