Product Overview
Epitalon (also known as Epithalon or Epithalone) is a synthetic tetrapeptide comprised of four amino acids: L-alanyl-L-glutamyl-L-aspartyl-glycine. It was originally engineered as a synthetic mimic of epithalamin, a natural peptide hormone secreted by the pineal gland. This reference compound is widely evaluated in biomolecular research settings for its distinct interactions with telomerase dynamics and cellular lifespan kinetics.
Preclinical in vitro models indicate that Epitalon acts on cellular genetic pathways to investigate the upregulation of telomerase activity and the maintenance of telomeric DNA structures. Its highly stable structure is carefully monitored using advanced analytical instrumentation to ensure repeatable biochemical signaling profiles during experimental evaluation.

Laboratory Handling & Storage Guidelines
- Reconstitution: Reconstitute using sterile bacteriostatic water or standard laboratory-grade saline solution. Gently swirl the vial in a smooth circular motion; avoid harsh mechanical agitation to protect the baseline integrity of the peptide bonds.
- Long-Term Storage: Store the raw lyophilized powder desiccated at -20°C to -80°C. Protect completely from moisture contamination, ambient humidity variations, and direct light exposure.
- Short-Term Stability: Post-reconstitution, the matrix must be stored under stable refrigeration at 2°C to 8°C and utilized within 14 days to preserve maximum biochemical sequence integrity.
