Epithalon
Epithalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide analogue of Epithalamin, a naturally occurring polypeptide extract derived from the pineal gland. Supplied as a lyophilized powder in a sealed laboratory-grade glass vial. Intended for in-vitro and laboratory research applications only.
Research Context
Epithalon is studied in in-vitro and animal-model research into telomerase enzyme activity and telomere biology. It is used as a research subject in investigations of melatonin-associated pineal gland signalling and circadian pathway regulation, and of oxidative-stress markers such as lipid peroxidation. Its interaction with chromatin remodeling and gene-expression pathways has made it a subject of interest in aging biology, oncology, and neuroendocrine signalling research.
