Research Information
Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) belonging to the family of peptide bioregulators developed by Russian researcher Vladimir Khavinson, studied for its role in cellular ageing research. Researchers are interested in how it interacts with telomerase — the enzyme that maintains chromosome ends and is linked to cellular replicative capacity — in cell-culture studies. Most published work has used fibroblast cell lines to examine its effects on telomere length and senescence markers.
Research areas
- Telomerase activity studies
- Telomere length cell-model research
- Cellular senescence pathway studies
- Pineal-derived bioregulator research
Analytical methods
Identity and purity are typically confirmed at source by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry. HelixCore products are batch tested for identity and purity as standard.
Storage and handling
Store lyophilised at -20°C, away from moisture and direct light. Once reconstituted, store at 2–8°C and use within the timeframe specified on the source datasheet.
For Research Use Only. Not for human or veterinary use.
Batch tested
Every batch is tested for identity and purity (98%+) before it reaches our UK stock.
