Description
Epitalon Acetate
Chemical Name: Epitalon (Epithalamin Synthetic Tetrapeptide) Acetate
Molecular Formula: C₁₄H₂₂N₄O₉
Molecular Weight: ~390.35 g/mol
CAS Number: 307297-39-8
Sequence:
Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly
Structural Characteristics:
Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide that mimics the active component of the naturally occurring pineal gland extract epithalamin. It has been shown to regulate the expression of telomerase and may modulate aging-related cellular processes in research settings.
Mechanism of Action (Research Context):
Epitalon is studied for its ability to influence telomerase activation and genomic stability, with applications including:
- Longevity and aging research
- Studies on telomere maintenance and chromosomal integrity
- Investigations into circadian rhythm and pineal peptide signaling
Synthesis and Quality Control:
- Produced by solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS)
- HPLC purified to ≥98%
- Verified by Mass Spectrometry (MS)
Product Details:
- Form: Lyophilized acetate salt
- Appearance: White to off-white crystalline powder
Solubility:
Epitalon Acetate is soluble in sterile water, dilute acetic acid, or aqueous buffers at pH 5–7.
Storage & Handling:
- Store lyophilized powder at –20°C, protected from light and moisture
- After reconstitution, store refrigerated at 2–8°C for up to 30 days
- For extended storage, aliquot and freeze at –20°C
- Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles
