Epitalon

Epitalon in Laboratory Research

Epitalon is a four-residue peptide — Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly — derived from a fraction originally isolated from pineal tissue. Its small size and simple sequence make it straightforward to synthesise and handle.

In controlled laboratory environments it is used as a defined tool compound in ageing and chronobiology research.

Research Applications & Study Focus

The literature around Epitalon concerns telomerase activity, circadian gene expression, and pineal-derived regulatory signalling. It appears most often in cellular-senescence assays, telomere-length measurement work, and chronobiology models examining the pineal-circadian axis.

Consistent lot specification supports reproducible senescence and telomere endpoints across repeated experiments.

Purity, Handling & Verification

Each batch is supplied as a sealed, lyophilized vial and is independently analysed by a third-party laboratory using HPLC and mass spectrometry; the full certificate of analysis is published against its lot number, so results can be verified before use. Store the lyophilized material cool, dry and out of direct light, and reconstitute with bacteriostatic water under standard aseptic laboratory practice.
