Research Information
Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) belonging to the family of peptide bioregulators developed by Russian researcher Vladimir Khavinson, studied for its role in cellular ageing research. Researchers are interested in how it interacts with telomerase — the enzyme that maintains chromosome ends and is linked to cellular replicative capacity — in cell-culture studies. Most published work has used fibroblast cell lines to examine its effects on telomere length and senescence markers.
Research areas
- Telomerase activity studies
- Telomere length cell-model research
- Cellular senescence pathway studies
- Pineal-derived bioregulator research
Analytical methods
Identity and purity are typically confirmed at source by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry. All products are third-party tested for identity and purity.
Storage and handling
Store lyophilised at -20°C, away from moisture and direct light. Once reconstituted, store at 2–8°C and use within the timeframe specified on the source datasheet.
For Research Use Only. Not for human or veterinary use.
Third-party tested
All products are third-party tested for identity and purity.
