About Epitalon
Epitalon (Epithalon, Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly)
Research background as published in the scientific literature. Supplied for in-vitro laboratory research only; nothing here is a claim about use in humans or animals.
Epitalon (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) is a synthetic tetrapeptide developed by Vladimir Khavinson at the Saint Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. It is a synthetic analogue of Epithalamin, a polypeptide extract from the pineal gland.
Research spanning several decades has examined Epitalon's effects on telomerase activity, telomere length, and biomarkers of ageing in cell cultures and animal models. Studies have also investigated its effects on melatonin production, immune function, and spontaneous tumour incidence in aged rodent models.

- 01Telomerase ActivationEpitalon research has examined its ability to activate telomerase, the enzyme responsible for maintaining telomere length. Studies investigate whether telomerase induction affects cellular senescence and replicative lifespan in laboratory models.
- 02Pineal Gland & MelatoninResearch has examined Epitalon's effects on pineal gland function, with studies reporting influences on melatonin production and circadian rhythm regulation in aged animal models.
- 03Gene ExpressionLaboratory studies have investigated Epitalon's effects on the expression of genes associated with cell cycle regulation, oxidative stress response, and tumour suppression in various cell models.
