Epithalon research profile
What is being studied?
Epithalon is a short synthetic tetrapeptide commonly identified by the sequence AEDG. Laboratory studies use the defined four-residue structure to investigate peptide-dependent changes in gene expression, enzyme activity and cellular ageing models.
Recent human-cell-line work has examined hTERT expression, telomerase activity, telomere length and alternative lengthening of telomeres after experimental exposure. These findings are model-specific and do not establish effects outside the tested cell systems.
Research areas
- Telomerase, hTERT-expression and telomere-length assays
- Comparison of normal and transformed cell-line responses
- Short-peptide structure and transcriptional-response studies
Selected studies
-
Cell study · 2025Epitalon increases telomere length in human cell lines ↗
