Overview
Epitalon (also known as Epithalon or AEDG) is a synthetic tetrapeptide analog of the naturally occurring pineal peptide Epithalamin. It is widely utilized in in vitro and laboratory‑based research involving cellular‑aging pathways, circadian‑rhythm regulation models, and stress‑response mechanisms. Epitalon is of particular interest for studies examining peptide‑mediated regulation of telomere‑associated and neuroendocrine‑related biochemical processes.
