Detailed Research Information

Epithalon (Epitalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide derived from the pineal gland peptide epithalamin, extensively studied in aging research and circadian biology. As a research compound, Epithalon is investigated for its effects on telomerase activity, circadian rhythm regulation, and cellular aging mechanisms.

Key Research Applications

Telomere Research: Epithalon is utilized in studies examining telomerase activation mechanisms, telomere length maintenance, and cellular replicative capacity in various cell culture models.

Circadian Rhythm Studies: Research applications include investigation of pineal gland function, melatonin production regulation, and circadian clock gene expression in laboratory models.

Aging Biology Research: Epithalon is employed in studies exploring cellular senescence mechanisms, age-related physiological decline, and interventions targeting biological aging processes.

Neuroendocrine Research: Studies utilize Epithalon to investigate hypothalamic-pituitary regulation, pineal gland peptide signaling, and neuroendocrine aspects of aging.

Mechanism of Action

Epithalon functions through multiple proposed mechanisms including activation of telomerase enzyme in somatic cells, regulation of circadian rhythms via pineal gland modulation, and normalization of anterior pituitary hormone production. Research demonstrates that Epithalon may influence gene expression related to aging processes, though the precise molecular mechanisms remain under investigation. The tetrapeptide sequence (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) shows structural similarity to naturally occurring pineal peptides.
