Epitalon (also known as Epithalon or Epithalamin) is a synthetic tetrapeptide derived from the pineal gland peptide Epithalamin. With the molecular formula C₁₄H₂₂N₄O₉ and a molecular weight of 390.4 g/mol (CAS: 76066-85-2), Epitalon consists of four amino acids (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) and mimics the endogenous peptide involved in melatonin regulation.
Ala-Glu-Asp-GlyKhavinson et al. (2009) investigated Epitalon's effects on telomerase activity and gene expression in human somatic cell cultures (PMID: 19619679).
PMID: 19619679VERIFY PMIDKhavinson et al. (2003) characterized Epitalon's molecular structure and its interactions with pineal gland function in vitro (PMID: 14696864).
PMID: 14696864VERIFY PMIDKorkushko et al. (2015) examined Epitalon's mechanism of action on melatonin synthesis enzymes in pinealocyte cultures (PMID: 26637836).
PMID: 26637836VERIFY PMIDEpitalon has been shown to increase telomerase activity and elongate telomeres in human somatic cell cultures through hTERT upregulation (PMID: 19619679).
Research indicates Epitalon influences melatonin-producing enzyme expression in pineal gland cell models (PMID: 26637836).
