Specifications
Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) derived from the larger protein Epithalamin, originally isolated from bovine pineal gland. Research from the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology and collaborators has investigated the peptide across models of aging, pineal function, and chromatin biology.
Published work has examined effects on telomerase activity in somatic human cells, melatonin rhythms, and age-associated biomarkers in rodent longevity studies.
The peptide is supplied as a research reagent for investigation of short-peptide bioregulation and aging biology. It is not a therapeutic.
