Epithalon: Research on Telomerase and Cellular Longevity
Share
Originating from Soviet research on pineal gland peptides, Epithalon remains today one of the most referenced compounds in cellular aging biology research.
Overview
Epithalon (or Epitalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide designed as an analog of epithalamin, a natural pineal gland extract. It was first studied for its potential role in circadian rhythm regulation before research shifted toward telomere biology.
Proposed mechanism of action
Cellular model studies focus on the effect of Epithalon on telomerase gene expression, the enzyme responsible for maintaining telomere length. Its interaction with pineal gland signaling is also studied in connection with circadian regulation.
Scientific research focus
- Telomere biology and cellular senescence
- Cellular aging models
- Research on circadian regulation
- Neuroendocrine studies linked to the pineal gland
Purity & quality standards
CELLOVATE applies strict internal standards to ensure consistency and reliability:
