Core Functions & Mechanisms
Cartalax is a synthetic cartilage bioregulator peptide that acts at the gene‑expression level to protect, repair, and maintain articular cartilage and connective tissues.
-
Epigenetic & Gene Regulation
- Binds directly to chondrocyte DNA promoter regions
- Upregulates SOX9 (master chondrogenic transcription factor)
- Boosts expression of COL2A1 (type II collagen), aggrecan (ACAN), and COMP
- Reduces catabolic pathways driven by Runx2, MMP‑13, ADAMTS‑5
-
Anabolic Cartilage Repair
- Stimulates chondrocyte proliferation and viability
- Increases synthesis of proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs)
- Strengthens extracellular matrix (ECM) structure and elasticity
- Reduces chondrocyte apoptosis and senescence
-
Anti‑Inflammatory & Protective Action
- Lowers pro‑inflammatory cytokines (IL‑1β, TNF‑α, NF‑κB)
- Inhibits cartilage‑degrading enzymes
- Reduces joint discomfort and swelling in preclinical models
- Protects against mechanical stress and age‑related degeneration
-
Joint & Spine Support
- Maintains articular cartilage thickness and integrity
- Supports intervertebral disc health and hydration
- Assists recovery in post‑traumatic and post‑surgical joint research models
- Improves mobility and functional resilience in aging connective tissue

Cartalax (AED) is a synthetic tripeptide bioregulator developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson and the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. It consists of three amino acids: Alanine, Glutamic Acid, Aspartic Acid. As a cartilage-targeted peptide, it supports joint health and connective tissue repair by regulating gene expression in chondrocytes.
