Epitalon (also spelled Epithalon or Epithalone) is a synthetic tetrapeptide with the sequence Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly. This 10mg lyophilized research compound is derived from the naturally occurring peptide Epithalamin, which was first isolated from the pineal gland extract.
Epitalon has been the subject of extensive research regarding telomerase activity and its potential role in cellular aging mechanisms. Studies have investigated its interaction with telomerase, the enzyme responsible for maintaining telomere length during cell division.
Research Applications
- Telomerase activation and telomere length studies
- Cellular senescence and aging mechanism research
