Pineal tetrapeptide investigated for telomere & aging research.
Epithalon (Epitalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide derived from a pineal-gland polypeptide complex, studied for telomere maintenance and aging research.
Up-regulates telomerase expression in somatic cell cultures and modulates pineal-melatonin signaling.
Peptide engages target receptor with high affinity.
Downstream intracellular pathways activate.
Gene expression and protein synthesis shift.
Measurable change in the studied biomarker.
Tested Epithalon effect on telomerase activity and telomere length in somatic cells.
Induced telomerase activity and elongated telomeres in cultured cells.
Long-term Epithalon administration in spontaneous-tumor transgenic model.
Reduced incidence and slowed progression of mammary adenocarcinomas.
Long-term observational program with pineal/thymic peptide combination.
Reported reduced mortality in treated cohort vs. controls.
Lyophilized -20°C, light-protected.
Strictly for in-vitro laboratory and research investigations.
Not approved for diagnostic, therapeutic, or veterinary application.
Handling restricted to licensed researchers and laboratory staff.
Warning — Epithalon is supplied solely for legitimate laboratory research. Any administration to humans or animals is strictly prohibited and may violate federal, state, or local law. By purchasing, the researcher accepts full responsibility for safe handling, storage, and lawful use.
