Epitalon
A synthetic tetrapeptide studied primarily for telomerase activity and chromosomal stability.
Research Overview
Epitalon is a short Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly tetrapeptide modeled on the pineal peptide epithalamin. Its most-studied research property is induction of telomerase (hTERT) expression, with published assays reporting telomere elongation in cultured somatic cells.
Other investigations examine its role in pineal/melatonin regulation and broader gene-expression and circadian effects in aged cell populations. These are laboratory research contexts only.
