Product Description
Prostamax 20mg — Lys-Glu-Asp-Pro Peptide Bioregulator
Prostamax is a synthetic short-peptide bioregulator composed of the tetrapeptide Lys-Glu-Asp-Pro (KEDP), part of the Khavinson family of defined peptide bioregulators. It is a research tool used to study tissue-specific peptide signaling in preclinical models. Each vial contains 20mg of lyophilized peptide at ≥98% purity, verified by HPLC and mass spectrometry.

Mechanism of Action
Prostamax is a defined tetrapeptide (Lys-Glu-Asp-Pro) in the short-peptide bioregulator class. Research in this area proposes that such peptides interact with regulatory DNA regions to influence tissue-specific gene expression.
Defined Short-Peptide Structure
Unlike tissue-extract preparations, Prostamax is a chemically defined four-residue peptide, making it a reproducible tool for bioregulator research.
Tissue-Specific Signaling Model
It is studied as a representative bioregulator for investigating proposed peptide effects on cellular differentiation and gene expression.
Research Applications
Peptide Bioregulator Research
A defined KEDP tetrapeptide used to study short-peptide bioregulation in preclinical models.
Gene-Expression Modeling
Investigated for proposed tissue-specific regulatory effects.
Comparative Bioregulator Studies
Studied alongside related Khavinson peptides such as epithalon.

Reconstitution and Handling in Research
The following summarizes standard laboratory handling for lyophilized research peptides. This product is intended for research use only and is not for human consumption.
Reconstitute the lyophilized powder by adding bacteriostatic or sterile water down the inside wall of the vial using a sterile syringe. Gently swirl to dissolve—do not shake, as agitation can shear peptide structure. The solvent volume selected determines the working concentration for a given research protocol. For step-by-step technique and dilution calculations, see our peptide reconstitution guide and pair with bacteriostatic water.
Storage and Handling
Lyophilized (unreconstituted): Store at -20°C for long-term stability (up to 24 months) or at 2–8°C for shorter periods, protected from light and moisture. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Reconstituted: Store at 2–8°C and use within 4–6 weeks. For longer storage, aliquot into single-use volumes and freeze at -20°C. See our full peptide storage guide.
Safety Profile in Research
As with all research compounds, investigators should follow standard laboratory safety protocols, including appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling reconstituted solutions. Prostamax 20mg is for in-vitro and laboratory research use only and is not intended for human consumption, therapeutic use, or diagnostic purposes.
