Research Profile
What is Epitalon?
Epitalon (also known as Epithalon or Epithalamin) is a synthetic tetrapeptide derived from the pineal gland peptide Epithalamin. With the molecular formula C₁₄H₂₂N₄O₉ and a molecular weight of 390.4 g/mol (CAS: 76066-85-2), Epitalon consists of four amino acids (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) and mimics the endogenous peptide involved in melatonin regulation.

Mechanism of Action
Telomerase Activity
hTERT gene expressionEpitalon has been shown to increase telomerase activity and elongate telomeres in human somatic cell cultures through hTERT upregulation.
Melatonin Synthesis
Arylalkylamine N-acetyltransferaseResearch indicates Epitalon influences melatonin-producing enzyme expression in pineal gland cell models.
