EPITALON
Epitalon - Synthetic Tetrapeptide (Telomerase / Pineal-Axis Research)
Epitalon is a short synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) originally isolated from research on pineal gland extracts. Despite its small size, Epitalon has become a widely cited research peptide in telomere-biology models, studied for its influence on telomerase activity, telomere elongation, and pineal-axis signaling. Its structure allows efficient tissue penetration while resisting rapid enzymatic degradation.
Mechanism of Action
Epitalon is studied for its ability to activate telomerase expression, potentially supporting telomere maintenance in dividing cells. Research models have also examined its role in modulating pineal-gland function, melatonin biosynthesis, and circadian/neuroendocrine regulation. Additional research explores its interactions with gene expression, antioxidant pathways, and cellular stress responses.
