Epitalon
Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly, CAS 307297-39-8) first characterized from pineal gland extracts and structurally related to the natural peptide epithalamin. In human somatic cell cultures it upregulates telomerase activity via hTERT and modulates melatonin synthesis enzyme expression in pinealocyte models. The dual research utility — telomere biology and pineal-hypothalamic neuroendocrine signaling — is defined by its peptide sequence and cell-type-specific receptor interactions. For laboratory research use only.
