Epitalon

Product Description Epitalon (also known as Epithalon or AEDG) is a synthetic tetrapeptide with the amino acid sequence Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly. Originally derived from epithalamin (a pineal gland extract), it is supplied as ≥98% pure lyophilized powder (HPLC/MS verified). It is designed for laboratory studies on telomere biology, cellular aging, and neuroendocrine regulation.

Key Research Mechanism Epitalon upregulates telomerase activity, promoting telomere elongation in somatic cells. This supports cellular replication potential, antioxidant defense, and gene expression modulation, contributing to its observed geroprotective effects in research models.

Primary Research Areas

• Telomere maintenance and telomerase activation in aging cells
• Anti-aging and longevity pathway studies (neuroendocrine and geroprotective effects)
• Pineal gland/melatonin regulation and circadian rhythm research
• Cellular senescence, oxidative stress resistance, and DNA protection

Intended Use For in vitro and in vivo research only. Not for human or veterinary use. This product is sold strictly for scientific and laboratory investigation. Researchers must follow all institutional and regulatory guidelines. Not evaluated by the FDA.
