EPITHALON

Molecular Formula: C₁₄H₂₂N₄O₉

Description: Epithalon (also known as Epitalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) modeled after a natural peptide produced in the pineal gland. In gerontological research, it is primarily studied for its ability to induce the expression of the enzyme telomerase. Laboratory investigations focus on its influence on telomere maintenance, its role in regulating melatonin secretion, and its impact on the suppression of cellular senescence markers in aging models
