Epithalon

Epithalon is a synthetic peptide known as a telomerase activator. Research focuses on its potential to slow biological aging and improve cellular maintenance.

Molecular Properties

Research History

Developed by Professor Vladimir Khavinson in Russia, Epithalon is a derivative of the pineal peptide epithalamin. It has been extensively studied for its impact on telomere length and lifespan.

Studied Mechanisms

Epithalon increases the expression of telomerase, the enzyme responsible for lengthening telomeres, which helps maintain chromosomal stability and cell viability across multiple generations.
