Epithalon (Epitalon)

Epithalon (Epitalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide derived from Epithalamin and widely studied in gerontology and genomic regulation research. It is best known for its reported ability to modulate telomerase activity, the enzyme involved in maintaining telomere integrity at the ends of chromosomes. In vitro studies in human somatic cells suggest Epithalon may increase telomerase activity and support telomere elongation, mechanisms associated with cellular longevity and reduced age-related genomic instability.

Beyond telomere biology, research indicates Epithalon may influence gene expression and circadian signaling pathways, including those tied to melatonin synthesis and immune regulation. These combined properties have made Epithalon a prominent research compound in models of aging, oxidative stress, and age-associated functional decline. Epithalon is supplied strictly for in-vitro laboratory research use and is not intended for human or animal application.
