Overview
A short-peptide bioregulator studied in heart-muscle cell models.
Looking for research material? Simple Research Peptides lists Cardiogen (20 mg Vial) for laboratory research use.
Mechanism
Short bioregulator peptides (2–4 amino acids) are proposed to enter cells, interact with DNA or histones, and adjust tissue-specific gene expression. Most of the evidence comes from cell and animal studies by a small number of research groups.
Research areas
- short-peptide bioregulators
- cardiomyocyte models
Storage & reconstitution
Supplied as a freeze-dried (lyophilized) powder in a sealed vial. Unopened vials are generally kept cold and away from light. Labs usually reconstitute it with bacteriostatic or sterile water, letting the liquid run down the vial wall and swirling gently instead of shaking. The solution is then kept refrigerated.
