Description
Epithalon (also referenced as Epitalon or Epithalone) is a synthetic tetrapeptide with the sequence Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly, derived from the natural polypeptide Epithalamin produced by the pineal gland. It is supplied as a lyophilized powder for in vitro research applications involving telomere biology, pineal gland peptide pharmacology, and cellular aging models.

Research Context
Epithalon has been studied extensively in Russian longevity and neuroendocrine research for several decades, with a significant body of preclinical literature documenting its utility in telomere length investigation, telomerase activity assays, and pineal gland peptide signalling models. In vitro applications include studies on cellular replicative capacity, antioxidant pathway modulation, and melatonin synthesis regulatory mechanisms. It represents a well-characterized research tool for investigators studying peptide-mediated influence on telomere dynamics in cell culture models.
