What Is Epitalon?

Last reviewed: 17 August 2026

Epitalon lyophilised reference material vial

Epitalon (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) is a synthetic tetrapeptide derived from work on pineal-gland peptide extracts. It is studied as a research tool in telomere biology and cellular-ageing models.

Research use only · Not for human consumption · 18+. This page describes the published scientific record for laboratory and educational research. It is not medical advice and not a recommendation to administer this compound to humans or animals.

How is Epitalon classified?

A short synthetic peptide in the 'peptide bioregulator' research lineage — a framing specific to the research group that developed it, and one worth recognising when reading the source literature.

How is its mechanism studied?

  • Telomerase (hTERT) expression in cultured human somatic cells.
  • Telomere-length endpoints in cell-culture models.
  • Circadian and pineal-axis markers in animal studies.

What kind of research exists?

Cell-culture and rodent studies, largely from a single research lineage, with limited independent replication in English-language journals. Reviews consistently identify replication as the main gap in this evidence base.

What is it studied alongside?

Thymalin and other peptide bioregulators, and MOTS-c in broader cellular-ageing reviews.

How does Neo Labs supply and handle it?

Lyophilised powder, third-party HPLC-tested with a batch COA. Cold, light-protected storage.

Primary literature

We link live PubMed searches rather than a fixed citation list, so you always land on the current indexed record — including papers published after this page was reviewed.

The indexed literature for these compounds is predominantly preclinical. Citations are provided for scientific reference and do not imply any human-use indication.
