🔹 In-depth Scientific Profile
Epithalon (also spelled Epitalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide with the sequence Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly (AEDG), presented as a 50 mg research lyophilized powder per vial.
Signaling pathways documented in literature:
- Telomerase activation (hTERT): Cellular models document induction of telomerase activity and telomere elongation in cultured human fibroblasts
- Circadian modulation: Preclinical rodent studies describe normalization of melatonin secretion and circadian rhythm
- Gene Regulation / Chromatin Experimental literature reports effects on gene expression and chromatin structure (perinuclear heterochromatin).
