Epithalon (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly) is a synthetic tetrapeptide analog of epithalamin, a natural polypeptide extracted from the pineal gland. Preclinical research has investigated its role in activating telomerase, elongating telomeres in somatic cells, regulating melatonin production, and modulating neuroendocrine function. It is used as a research tool in aging biology, longevity research, and circadian rhythm studies.
