Epitalon (Epithalon)
Lyophilized powder • ≥99% HPLC Purity • Ships from U.S. Facilities • Research Use Only
Epitalon (Epithalon, CAS 307297-39-8) is a synthetic tetrapeptide with the amino acid sequence Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly, originally identified as the putative active component of bovine pineal gland extract epithalamin, supplied by Nextday Peptides in lyophilized format for laboratory and analytical research applications. Developed by Vladimir Khavinson's group at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology, Epitalon has been studied as a research tool for investigating telomerase enzyme activity, hTERT transcriptional regulation, telomere biology, and chromatin state dynamics in controlled in-vitro experimental systems. Each vial is independently verified to ≥99% HPLC purity with a Certificate of Analysis available on request. For scientific research use only.
