Research Information
Mechanism of Action
Epithalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly):
- Telomerase activation: Studied for induction of telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) expression
- Pineal gland: Research on melatonin secretion modulation via pineal peptide pathways
- Cellular senescence: Investigated for effects on replicative lifespan in cell culture models
