Chonluten (Glu-Asp-Gly, EDG) is a short synthetic peptide from the family of peptide bioregulators developed by V. Khavinson and colleagues, each modelled on peptide extracts from a particular tissue — for Chonluten, bronchial mucosa.
Chonluten (Glu-Asp-Gly) is one of the most acidic peptides in the range and is studied in respiratory epithelial-cell models.

Short Peptide Bioregulators
Khavinson’s group proposed that di-, tri- and tetrapeptides derived from tissue extracts can enter cells and interact with DNA and histone proteins, influencing chromatin structure and tissue-specific gene expression. These peptides are studied mainly in cell-culture and molecular-modelling research. Read the peptide bioregulators overview.
Chonluten and the Glu-Asp (ED) family
Many bioregulators share short sequence cores. Chonluten belongs to the Glu-Asp (ED) family:
| Peptide | Sequence | Tissue of origin |
|---|---|---|
| Chonluten | Glu-Asp-Gly | bronchial mucosa |
| Pinealon | Glu-Asp-Arg | brain |
| Crystagen | Glu-Asp-Pro | immune tissue |
| Ovagen | Glu-Asp-Leu | liver and gastrointestinal tissue |
