Overview
Researchers in telomere biology and pineal regulation can buy Epitalon research peptide from Advanced Peptide Science at 99%+ HPLC-verified purity. Epitalon (Epithalon, AEDG) is a synthetic tetrapeptide bioregulator with sequence Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly and a molecular weight of 390.3 Da, derived from the pineal extract Epithalamin.
Bacteriostatic Water (BAC Water) 30ml is required for reconstitution of this lyophilized compound. Available separately: Bacteriostatic Water 30ml.
Research Background
Epitalon was developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology as the synthetic active fragment of Epithalamin — a pineal gland extract investigated for ageing research. Other Khavinson bioregulator peptides in our catalogue include Pinealon and Vilon.
Mechanism of Action (Research Context)
Mechanism research investigates Epitalon-induced expression of telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) and downstream telomere elongation in somatic cell preclinical models. Additional research examines pineal gland hormone regulation pathways and the broader Khavinson bioregulator framework for short-peptide-mediated tissue-specific epigenetic regulation.
Research Applications
- Telomerase enzyme activation and hTERT expression research
- Telomere elongation in somatic cell preclinical models
- Pineal gland hormone regulation pathway studies
- Cellular ageing biomarker research
- Comparative bioregulator research with Pinealon and Vilon
