Research Overview
Epithalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide based on the natural pineal gland peptide epithalamin. It is one of the most studied peptides in telomere biology and aging research.
Mechanism of Action
Activates telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) expression, promoting telomere elongation. Also modulates melatonin synthesis via pinealocyte stimulation.
Research Applications
Telomere biology, cellular senescence research, circadian rhythm studies, melatonin pathway investigation, longevity modeling.
Key Research Findings
Cell culture studies demonstrate telomerase activation and telomere elongation in human somatic cells. Pinealocyte cultures show restored melatonin synthesis.
