Structural class
Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) derived from epithalamin, a natural pineal gland extract, studied in telomerase activation and melatonin pathway assay models.
Pathways studied
Epitalon has been reported to activate telomerase (hTERT) transcription in somatic cell cultures, increasing telomerase enzyme activity and extending telomere length in serial passage experiments — an area of active interest in cellular ageing research. Mechanistically, upregulation of hTERT expression may involve chromatin remodelling at the TERT promoter, with some studies implicating epigenetic changes. In pinealocyte assay models, epithalamin extracts (of which epitalon represents the characterised active fraction) modulate melatonin synthesis enzymes (AANAT and HIOMT), relevant to circadian biology research.
Typical research focus
Telomere biology and telomerase regulation are areas where research tools are limited, making epitalon an unusual small peptide with a potentially useful role as a telomerase-activating perturbagen in comparative ageing-pathway studies. Its very short sequence (4 residues, MW ≈ 390 Da) simplifies analytical characterisation relative to larger research peptides.

How to read a certificate of analysis, what purity actually measures, and how research peptides are stored and independently verified.
The questions researchers ask most.
Every batch is independently tested by Janoshik Analytical. Each product links straight to the lab's own record, so you can check the exact purity figure yourself before you buy — nothing to take on trust.
Keep vials sealed, dry, and out of direct light. Lyophilised (freeze-dried) peptides are stable at -20 °C; once reconstituted, store as noted on the product label. Full handling notes sit on every product page.
Order by 2pm for same-day dispatch from our Melbourne warehouse, otherwise the next business day, with tracked delivery Australia-wide. No customs, no border delays — it's already in the country.

Researchers who bought Epitalon also stock these.
It brings together 2 labelled variants: 10mg and 50mg, current pricing context, stock visibility, COA access, and internal links to related catalogue pages so a laboratory buyer can review the material from a single reference URL.
Epitalon is generally discussed as a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) derived from epithalamin, a natural pineal gland extract, studied in telomerase activation and melatonin pathway assay models. The most relevant background is sequence behaviour, pathway or receptor context where documented, and analytical consistency under controlled laboratory conditions.
Use the label, COA, and internal SOPs as the primary guide. In general, store the material under controlled laboratory conditions, minimise avoidable environmental exposure, and keep variant tracking records current.
This page links the broader COA library when a product-specific document is not attached. Laboratories should use the published documentation set that is currently available for the listing.
No. The page should be interpreted strictly in a research and laboratory context. It does not provide dosage guidance, treatment claims, or human or animal use instructions.
