What is Cartalax?

Cartalax is a short three-amino-acid peptide from the same class of synthetic bioregulators as Vesugen and Livagen, each associated in the literature with a particular connective or organ tissue. Cartalax’s research focus is cartilage, positioning it within studies of joint aging and cartilage matrix biology.

How it is understood to work

As with other short bioregulator peptides, Cartalax is proposed to act intracellularly, influencing gene expression relevant to chondrocyte proliferation and extracellular matrix protein synthesis, rather than engaging a defined surface receptor. Reported anti-inflammatory effects in cartilage models are consistent with, but not proof of, this proposed mechanism.

Research status

Cartalax has been examined mainly in cell-culture chondrocyte assays and small animal models relevant to osteoarthritis and cartilage degeneration, with reported effects on matrix synthesis and inflammatory signaling. The published evidence base is limited in scale and has not advanced to controlled human trials, so its relevance to joint disease remains an open research question.

Specifications

Compound: Cartalax
Also known as: AED peptide (Ala-Glu-Asp)
Class: Synthetic tripeptide bioregulator
Form: Lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder
Per vial: 20mg
Stated purity: ≥99%
Sequence: Ala-Glu-Asp

Handling & storage

Supplied as a lyophilized powder; store unopened vials at -20C protected from light, and use reconstituted solution promptly, kept refrigerated in the interim.

Concentration check: adding 2 ml of bacteriostatic water to one 20 mg vial gives 10 mg/ml. The Research Lab calculator in your dashboard works this out for any volume.

Questions

How does Cartalax differ from Vesugen?

Cartalax is Ala-Glu-Asp and is associated with cartilage; Vesugen is Lys-Glu-Asp and is associated with blood vessels. One residue changes both the sequence and the tissue association reported in the literature.

What should a COA show for a tripeptide like this?

Expect HPLC purity data (typically 99% or higher) and mass-spec or amino-acid analysis confirming the Ala-Glu-Asp sequence, since such short peptides are otherwise hard to distinguish analytically from related tripeptides.

How much Cartalax is in this kit?

10 vials of 20 mg each, so 200 mg in total. The lab testing section above shows what the brand’s tested vial actually contained.
