About Epitalon

Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly, commonly written AEDG) modelled on a peptide fraction of pineal origin and supplied as a lyophilised research compound. Its compact four-amino-acid sequence makes this AEDG tetrapeptide a convenient reagent for in-vitro work on telomere-associated pathways, cellular senescence markers and chromatin-level responses.

Why researchers choose Avanti Peptides Epitalon: Short peptides are easy to get wrong at synthesis — every Epitalon lot is released against identity, purity and appearance specifications before it reaches your bench.

Reconstituting and storing Epitalon

  1. Before reconstitution: Store lyophilised vials at 2–8 °C, protected from light and moisture.
  2. Equilibrate: Allow vial and diluent to reach room temperature before opening.
  3. Reconstitute: Add Bacteriostatic Water (10 ml recommended). Swirl gently — do not vortex.
  4. After reconstitution: Store at 2–8 °C. Prepare aliquots to minimise freeze–thaw cycles.
  5. Compatibility: Use only within protocols that comply with your institution’s SOPs and local regulations.

Epitalon in research

Researchers examine Epitalon in cell models to interrogate telomere-associated pathways, senescence marker expression, and peptide-nucleic-acid interactions under strictly non-clinical conditions. Its small size and high aqueous solubility mean this AEDG tetrapeptide dissolves readily and is straightforward to aliquot for repeat-dose in-vitro designs.

Synthesis and quality assurance

Avanti Peptides manufactures Epitalon via controlled, validated solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) to deliver high purity and lot-to-lot consistency. Each batch undergoes identity verification, HPLC purity analysis (≥99%), and appearance inspection before release.

Frequently asked questions about Epitalon

What is Epitalon?
Epitalon is a 4-amino-acid peptide (sequence: Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly). It is used exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research. See the product overview above for full context.
How should I store the peptide?
Store lyophilised vials at 2–8 °C, away from light and moisture. After reconstitution, keep at 2–8 °C and use aliquots to minimise freeze–thaw cycles.
What diluent should I use for reconstitution?
Most laboratories use Bacteriostatic Water (10 ml). Always follow your lab’s standard operating procedures (SOPs) for the specific assay.
Do you provide batch documentation / Certificate of Analysis?
Yes. Batch documentation including test results (CoA) is available on request. If it is not attached to your order confirmation, contact our support team and we will add it immediately.
Is this product intended for human use?
No. This material is strictly for laboratory research only and is not intended for human consumption, clinical application, or veterinary use.
