FAQ
- What is the difference between Epitalon and N-Acetyl Epitalon Amidate?
- N-Acetyl Epitalon Amidate is Epitalon (AEDG tetrapeptide) with an acetyl group added at the N-terminus and an amide at the C-terminus; these end-caps resist exopeptidase degradation and may improve stability in lab experiments.
- Why are the N-acetyl and C-amide modifications added to Epitalon?
- The acetyl and amide groups act as protective end-caps, shielding the peptide from exopeptidases—enzymes that degrade chains from the ends—to improve resistance to breakdown and stability in laboratory research settings.
- What areas of biology is the Epitalon peptide family investigated in?
- It is studied in laboratory and animal-model settings for telomerase (hTERT) expression, replicative capacity of cultured cells, circadian and melatonin rhythms linked to pineal function, and general markers of cellular aging.
