Epitalon (also Epithalon) is a reference synthetic tetrapeptide derived from the pineal extract epithalamin. It is frequently cited in academic literature in Russian gerontological studies and chronobiology publications.
Investigated Biochemical Pathways (Academic Context)
-
Telomerase activity: in-vitro models of interaction with the telomerase catalytic unit; academic context of replicative cell senescence.
-
Circadian in-vitro models: monitoring the expression of melatonin-related genes in isolated pinealocyte cultures.
-
Antioxidant assays: in-vitro models of endogenous antioxidant enzyme (SOD, catalase) activity modulation.
-
Immunosenescence academic research: referenced in studies of T-cell regulation and cytokine production in isolated immune cultures.
-
Epigenetic studies: in-vitro characterization of the effect on DNA methylation in experimental cell lines.
Laboratory Use and Storage
Suitable as a reference standard for HPLC, MS, and in-vitro cell assays. In laboratory practice, the lyophilized powder is reconstituted with sterile diluents, such as Bacteriostatic Water - 10 ml. Store the lyophilized product at -20 °C, protected from light.
