Cardiogen is a synthetic tetrapeptide bioregulator supplied as a lyophilized powder for laboratory research. Its sequence is Ala-Glu-Asp-Arg (4 residues). Researchers study it in cardiac and myocardial tissue models, where short peptides are used as tools for examining sequence-specific binding and protein interactions. Kimera Chems supplies this material for controlled laboratory studies only.
Chemical Composition & Purity
Cardiogen has the molecular formula C₁₈H₃₁N₇O₉ and a molecular weight of 489.48 g/mol. It appears as a white to off-white lyophilized powder. Purity for this lot is documented on its batch-specific Certificate of Analysis, available for batch KC-CDG-TEL1.
Research Applications
Cardiogen is used as a reference peptide in cell-free and in vitro systems. Its 4-residue sequence gives a defined three-dimensional shape, and the side chain charges determine how it behaves in binding studies.
- Receptor Binding: Measuring peptide-protein affinity in cell-free systems.
- Competitive Assays: Examining displacement of labeled ligands.
- Structural Studies: Analyzing folding patterns in solution.
- Stability Testing: Monitoring degradation under various conditions.
Storage & Handling Protocol
Store at controlled room temperature, sealed and protected from light.
Storage guidance is a house recommendation. Analytical documentation is per-lot release testing.
