Epitalon

Epitalon (also written Epithalon) is a synthetic tetrapeptide, Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly, developed as an analog of epithalamin, a polypeptide extract of the pineal gland. Epitalon is supplied for qualified in-vitro laboratory research and analytical use only.

Compound profile

• Compound class: Synthetic tetrapeptide (short bioregulator)
• Sequence: Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly (AEDG)
• Molecular weight: ≈ 390.35 g/mol
• CAS number: 307297-39-8
• Form: Lyophilized powder in a sealed vial
• Testing: Third-party HPLC purity and identity, batch-matched COA

Research context

Epitalon is best known from research into telomerase activity and telomere length in cell-culture models, along with studies of circadian rhythm, melatonin-related signaling and markers of cellular aging. As one of the short regulatory peptides studied for gene-expression effects, it is often researched alongside other bioregulators such as Pinealon and Cartalax.

Storage and handling

Store unopened lyophilized vials sealed and protected from light — at −20 °C for long-term storage, or 2–8 °C for short-term use. Once reconstituted, keep refrigerated at 2–8 °C, minimize freeze–thaw cycles and rely on your laboratory’s own validated stability data.

Quality and documentation

Every lot is third-party tested, and the Certificate of Analysis is matched to the exact batch you receive — look it up any time on the COA page. Browse more Tissue & Inflammatory Pathway Research, or see related compounds: CARTALAX, PINEALON.
