Buy EPITALON research peptide (50 mg vial or 10-pack) for in-vitro laboratory research. Every lot is tested by HPLC and mass spectrometry and comes with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis.
About EPITALON
Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) with the molecular formula C14H22N4O9 and a molecular weight of 390.35 g/mol. Alchemy Gold Research supplies Epitalon as a lyophilized powder in a 50 mg research vial for in-vitro laboratory research. Every lot is tested by HPLC and mass spectrometry and ships with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA).
Research background
In the laboratory, Epitalon is used as a tool compound for studying telomerase enzyme activity, pinealocyte signaling, and chromatin-associated gene expression in cultured cell lines. Researchers also use it in biochemical assays examining oxidative-stress marker expression in vitro. Work with Epitalon typically compares exposed and control cell populations within a single lot to keep results comparable. Published work on Epitalon is preclinical. It is not approved for human or veterinary use, and it is supplied here for laboratory research only.
Studied research pathways
- Telomerase activity. Enzyme-activity assays measuring telomerase function in cultured cells.
- Pinealocyte signaling. Cultured pinealocyte models used to study intracellular signaling pathways.
- Gene expression regulation. Expression read-outs in cultured cell lines, including chromatin-associated genes.
Quality and documentation
Every lot of EPITALON is tested by HPLC for purity and by mass spectrometry for molecular identity, and it is released with a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) that lists the lot number, test date, purity and mass result. Testing is carried out by an independent third-party laboratory. The exact values for the lot you receive are printed on its COA.
Storage and handling
Store the lyophilized powder at −20 °C (−4 °F), protected from light. Keep the vial sealed until you are ready to use it, and let it come to room temperature before opening to limit moisture condensation. Solvents, concentrations and handling protocols are set by your research team and your institution's safety procedures.
