Telomerase and chromatin regulation
Research pathway involving telomerase activity, telomere biology and age-related chromatin organisation.
Biological pathway
Epitalon has been reported to alter telomerase-related and chromatin-associated markers in cell and animal experiments.
Evidence summary
The evidence is predominantly laboratory and animal research, with limited independently replicated human clinical data.
Limitations
Peptides linked to this mechanism
A synthetic tetrapeptide studied in cell, animal and limited human research for gene regulation, circadian biology and cellular ageing. Clinical evidence is insufficient.
Epitalon is an investigational peptide, analogue or research construct with evidence ranging from mechanistic studies to limited human trials.
Epithalamin is an investigational peptide, analogue or research construct with evidence ranging from mechanistic studies to limited human trials.
