Epithalon

Epithalon

Epithalon (Epitalon) is a research-grade synthetic tetrapeptide analogue of Epithalamin, a natural polypeptide extract of the pineal gland. Originally developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson at the St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology, Epithalon has been studied in preclinical experimental models for its effects on telomerase expression, telomere biology, and pineal gland function. It is supplied as a lyophilised powder for use in in vitro and in vivo research.

Mechanism of Action

Epithalon is hypothesised to stimulate the expression of telomerase (hTERT) in dividing cells, and has been studied in preclinical models for its effects on melatonin secretion, circadian rhythm regulation, cell cycle regulation, and DNA repair pathway gene expression.
