Overview
Epithalon (AEDG Tetrapeptide) Overview
Epithalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide catalogued under the amino-acid sequence Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly (AEDG). Assigned CAS number 307297-39-8 with a molecular weight of 390.35 g/mol, it is a short-chain peptide analog structurally related to the naturally occurring pineal peptide epithalamin. livvmore supplies Epithalon as a lyophilized powder in a 50 mg vial for controlled laboratory settings.
This material is catalogued strictly as a reference compound for in-vitro and model-organism research. It is documented by batch, with identity and analytical data recorded in the accompanying certificate of analysis. Every listing on livvmore is provided for scientific investigation and is described here by molecular identity, never by any application to living subjects.
Understanding Epithalon
As a four-residue peptide, Epithalon belongs to the family of synthetic peptide analogs examined for their interaction with cellular signalling pathways. Its compact structure and defined sequence make it a frequently referenced molecule in peptide chemistry and molecular biology literature, where investigators characterise its physical and structural properties.
- Peptide class: synthetic tetrapeptide (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly)
- CAS number: 307297-39-8
- Molecular weight: 390.35 g/mol
- Physical form: lyophilized powder
- Catalogue category: synthetic peptide analogs
Why Epithalon is studied
Laboratory groups reference Epithalon across several molecular research areas. In each case the compound is examined at the cellular or model-organism level, as a research chemical rather than a product for living subjects.
- Telomere biology and telomerase enzyme activity in cultured cells
- Gene-expression and chromatin studies in gerontological models
- Cellular senescence and oxidative-stress markers observed in vitro
- Pineal peptide signalling and circadian-rhythm regulation research

Testing records
What each batch record documents
Every batch is accompanied by laboratory records. The entries below describe what each record documents.
Mass (LC-MS)
Mass spectrometry records the compound’s measured mass to document molecular identity.
Appearance
The physical appearance of the material is recorded, for example a white lyophilized powder.
Batch record
Each batch is logged with a lot number and production date for traceability.
These are records of laboratory testing carried out on the batch. They document compound identity for research use and are not a statement of safety, suitability, or fitness for any use.
Research information
Epithalon in the research literature
Epithalon has featured in peptide and gerontology literature since the early 2000s, much of it originating from research groups investigating short peptide bioregulators. The compound is studied only in cell culture and model-organism systems, where investigators characterise its molecular interactions rather than any application to people or animals. The areas below summarise the recurring themes reported in the published record.
- Telomerase enzyme activity and telomere length in cultured human somatic cells
- Chromosome stability and DNA-integrity assays in ageing model systems
- Gene-expression profiling in pineal and neuroendocrine tissue models
- Model-organism ageing studies in Drosophila and rodent systems
- Oxidative-stress and cellular-senescence markers characterised in vitro
