Epitalon (also written Epithalon) is a short synthetic peptide studied in telomerase-activation and longevity research. This guide introduces the compound and its laboratory handling.
What is Epitalon?
Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly), a synthetic analogue of a naturally occurring pineal peptide. It is supplied as a lyophilised research vial.
What Epitalon is studied for
Research interest centres on Epitalon’s reported role in telomerase activation — telomerase is the enzyme that maintains the protective telomere caps on chromosomes — and on cellular-ageing and longevity questions in laboratory models. It is a well-known subject within longevity research.
Forms and handling
Reconstitute with bacteriostatic water per our reconstitution guide, and see the storage guide for solution stability.
Quality and verification
Each batch is HPLC-verified to ≥ 99% purity with a batch COA. See the Epitalon product or the Metabolic & Longevity Research category.
