As part of the Khavinson peptide bioregulator series, Cartalax is a short-chain peptide designed to interact with chondrocyte DNA and modulate gene expression associated with cartilage matrix synthesis and tissue homeostasis. It is supplied as a lyophilised powder for use in in vitro and in vivo research models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMechanism of Action\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCartalax is hypothesised to act as a gene expression modulator in cartilage tissue, interacting with chromatin and influencing the transcription of genes involved in chondrocyte differentiation, collagen and proteoglycan synthesis, and extracellular matrix maintenance. Peptide bioregulators of this class are thought to exhibit tissue-specific activity by binding to complementary DNA sequences in target cells, thereby restoring or maintaining normal cellular function in aged or damaged cartilage. Research has focused on its potential role in chondrocyte viability and articular cartilage integrity in experimental models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eResearch Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChondrocyte biology and cartilage matrix synthesis studies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeptide bioregulator gene expression modulation research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArticular cartilage repair and osteoarthritis modelling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAgeing and cellular senescence investigation in musculoskeletal tissue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollagen and proteoglycan biosynthesis studies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMolecular Formula:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eC₁₂H₁₉N₃O₈\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCAS Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e85806-95-7\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"Yjhzub\" data-sfc-root=\"ep\" data-sfc-cb=\"\" data-complete=\"true\" data-copy-service-computed-style='font-family: \"Google Sans\", Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 700; margin: 0px; text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 0px rgb(230, 232, 240);'\u003eMolecular Weight:\u003c!--TgQPHd||[]--\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e 333.29 g\/mol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePurity:\u003c\/strong\u003e ≥98%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForm:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lyophilised powder\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStorage:\u003c\/strong\u003e -20°C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShelf Life:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis product is intended for legitimate laboratory and analytical research use only.
