Epithalon 10mg
(€2.19 / mg)
Epithalon 10mg research-grade lyophilized peptide powder in a glass vial. Epithalon (Epitalon, AEDG) is a synthetic tetrapeptide Ala–Glu–Asp–Gly that mimics the endogenous pineal peptide Epithalamin and is studied in models of pineal gland function, telomerase activity and cellular aging.

Third-Party Tested
This product is third-party tested — view the certificate of analysis and laboratory verification.
Recommended solvent — Bacteriostatic water
In laboratory workflows, lyophilized research peptides are typically handled with suitable sterile diluents such as bacteriostatic water (BAC). For a compatible research-only solvent, see Bacteriostatic water.
Research Overview
Epithalon (Epitalon, AEDG) is a synthetic tetrapeptide derivative of the pineal extract Epithalamin. In gerontology and cellular biology research it is used as a tool compound to study telomerase regulation, telomere maintenance and pineal gland–driven neuroendocrine signaling in aging models.
Primary Research Areas
- Telomerase & telomere maintenance: models investigating telomerase activity, telomere length dynamics and chromosomal stability in aging cells.
- Pineal gland & melatonin regulation: studies of pineal peptides, melatonin secretion patterns and neuroendocrine control of circadian biology.
- Circadian rhythm & clock-gene research: experimental systems exploring links between AEDG peptides, circadian timing and cellular clock mechanisms.
- Cellular aging & senescence models: in-vitro studies on replicative senescence, stress resistance and age-associated signaling pathways.
- Neuroendocrine & stress-response pathways: research into how pineal-derived peptides modulate hypothalamic–pituitary axes and systemic homeostasis.
