Epithalon
L-alanyl-L-glutamyl-L-aspartyl-glycine
Epithalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide consisting of four amino acids (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) developed by Khavinson and colleagues in Russia during the late 1980s. With a molecular weight of 390.35 g/mol, this compact peptide mimics a segment of the naturally occurring thymic peptide epithalamin extracted from pineal glands, making it a valuable tool for research into telomere elongation, pineal gland function, and cellular aging processes in controlled experimental settings.
