Epithalon

Description

Epithalon (Epitalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) developed from research into pineal gland peptide bioregulators, studied for its proposed role in telomerase activity and cellular ageing research.

In laboratory research, Epithalon is examined for its reported ability to influence telomerase gene expression in some experimental cell models, making it a frequently cited compound in the field of cellular senescence and longevity-related research.

Researchers studying Epithalon also investigate its origins within the pineal bioregulator research tradition, alongside compounds such as Pinealon and Vilon, comparing mechanisms of short-peptide gene-regulatory activity across tissue types.

Its proposed interaction with chromatin and telomere-associated pathways distinguishes Epithalon from receptor-mediated signaling peptides, offering researchers a different mechanistic model for studying cellular ageing.

Epithalon is supplied strictly for laboratory research into telomere biology, gene expression regulation, and cellular ageing pathways.
