Cartalax is the tripeptide Ala-Glu-Asp (AED), the member of the Khavinson series assigned to cartilage and connective tissue. It should not be confused with Epithalon, the tetrapeptide Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly, which shares its first three residues and differs only by a terminal glycine.
Molecular target
No receptor has been identified. The series is described as acting through direct binding to DNA at specific promoter regions and to histone proteins, a model supported by docking studies and by circular dichroism work on peptide-oligonucleotide interaction.
Signalling pathway
Reported effects are on transcription rather than on any second-messenger cascade. In chondrocyte culture the published readouts concern expression of matrix components and of markers associated with chondrocyte differentiation.
Research context
Chondrocyte and connective-tissue cell culture, and rodent models, largely from the originating group. The near-identity with Epithalon at the sequence level, alongside a quite different assigned tissue, is the clearest illustration of why the tissue-specificity claim in this series warrants caution.
