Prostamax Technical Overview
Prostamax is a four-residue peptide built from lysine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, and proline, written H-Lys-Glu-Asp-Pro-OH and abbreviated KEDP. Its molecular formula is C₂₀H₃₃N₅O₉ and its molecular weight is 487.5 g/mol, with the entity indexed under PubChem CID 9848296 and CAS number 473578-47-1.
The sequence pairs two acidic side chains with one basic side chain, giving the peptide a charge distribution that laboratory work has used when examining short-peptide interaction with nucleic acids. This structural feature places KEDP alongside other short bioregulator sequences such as KE, AEDG, and EDR in comparative laboratory analyses.
Research interest in Prostamax is concentrated in prostate tissue explant culture and in chromatin structure investigation, where it is applied as a defined synthetic reagent under controlled conditions. All published characterization referenced on this page comes from in vitro, cell culture, and animal tissue model systems.
