Epithalon — Synthetic Tetrapeptide Research Compound

Epithalon (also known as Epitalon or Epithalone) is a synthetic tetrapeptide with the sequence Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly. Originally characterized in research conducted at the Saint Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology, Epithalon is a synthetic analog of the naturally occurring polypeptide Epithalamin, which was isolated from the pineal gland. This four-amino-acid peptide has been the subject of published research investigating its interactions with telomerase activity and pineal gland function in in-vitro and preclinical settings.

Published studies have examined Epithalon's influence on telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) gene expression in cultured cell lines, as well as its interactions with melatonin synthesis pathways in pineal gland tissue models. The peptide's relatively small size (390.35 Da) and defined sequence make it a well-characterized tool for laboratory investigations into telomere biology and neuroendocrine signaling cascades.

AXOM Epithalon is manufactured under strict cGMP-equivalent protocols and verified to ≥99% purity via reverse-phase HPLC. Each lot is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis documenting identity, purity, peptide content, and endotoxin levels. Available in 40mg lyophilized format. For research and laboratory use only.

Peptide promotes telomerase activity and telomere elongation in human somatic cells in vitro
Khavinson VKh, et al. • Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine, 2003 • In-vitro study

In-vitro investigation examining the effects of Epithalon on telomerase catalytic subunit (hTERT) expression and telomere length in cultured human fetal fibroblasts and adult pulmonary fibroblast cell lines. Characterized peptide-mediated changes in telomerase activity using TRAP assay methodology under controlled laboratory conditions.

Epithalon peptide induces telomerase activity and telomere elongation in human somatic cells
Khavinson VKh, et al. • Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine, 2004 • Cell culture research

Extended cell culture study examining Epithalon's effects on telomerase activation and replicative lifespan parameters in human somatic cell lines. Demonstrated measurable changes in hTERT mRNA expression levels via RT-PCR analysis in peptide-treated versus control cell populations across multiple passages.

Reconstitution Protocol

Epithalon is supplied as a lyophilized powder and should be reconstituted with sterile bacteriostatic water (BAC water) for research applications.

  • Allow the vial to reach room temperature before reconstitution
  • Add bacteriostatic water slowly along the vial wall
  • Gently swirl — do not shake or vortex
  • Allow the solution to stand until fully dissolved
  • Solution should appear clear and colorless

Storage Conditions

  • Lyophilized (unopened): Store at -20°C for long-term stability. Stable at 2–8°C for up to 90 days.
  • Reconstituted: Store at 2–8°C (refrigerated). Use within 28 days of reconstitution.
  • Protect from light, moisture, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
  • Do not use if solution appears cloudy or contains particulate matter.

Shipping

All orders ship within the continental United States via USPS or UPS. Peptides are shipped at ambient temperature — lyophilized peptides are stable during transit. Free shipping on orders over $250.
