Epitalon 10mg

Description

Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide derived from the pineal gland peptide epithalamin. It has been shown to activate telomerase, promote telomere elongation, and exert antioxidant and geroprotective effects in both cell culture and animal models. Researchers use Epitalon to study cellular aging, genome stability, and longevity pathways.

Sequence & Composition

• Amino Acid Sequence: Ala–Glu–Asp–Gly

• Molecular Formula: C₁₄H₂₂N₄O₉

• Molecular Weight: 390.35 Da

Research & Applications

• Telomere Maintenance: Stimulates telomerase activity and extends telomere length in human somatic cells.

• Antioxidant Defense: Enhances the activity of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase in aging models.

• Geroprotection: Reduces chromosomal aberrations and supports DNA repair in aged animals.

• Longevity Studies: Demonstrates life-span extension and decreased tumor incidence in rodent aging studies.

Recommended Usage

• In Vitro: 1–20 µM in cell culture assays (dissolve in sterile water or PBS; gentle warming may aid dissolution).

• In Vivo (Rodent Studies): 0.5–2 mg/kg via intraperitoneal injection, administered per protocol.

Packaging & Storage
