Epithalon - 10mg - Research Spray Kit

Epithalon is primarily used in research as a model peptide for studying fundamental biological mechanisms. In laboratory settings, researchers employ it to:

• Conduct binding and molecular interaction studies to understand how short peptides engage with proteins, DNA, and other cellular targets.
• Explore its role as a gene-regulatory peptide, monitoring transcriptional activity and protein synthesis in experimental systems.
• Investigate chromatin structure and nuclear function, focusing on how Epithalon influences DNA organization and cell cycle regulation.
• Test delivery formats, where the included spray kit allows scientists to compare peptide dispersion, stability, and solution performance across administration methods.

• Neurobiology: Studying potential influences on neurogenesis, neural differentiation, and peptide-mediated protein expression.
• Genetics and epigenetics: Examining how short peptides may affect telomere biology, chromatin remodeling, and epigenetic regulation.
• Cellular aging models: Observing oxidative stress responses, DNA repair mechanisms, and cellular senescence pathways.
• Peptide delivery science: Assessing how spray-based systems compare with other laboratory administration routes for peptide stability and effectiveness.

The Epithalon Research Spray Kit includes a synthetic tetrapeptide (AEDG) paired with a precision spray applicator for laboratory use. This format supports scientific exploration of peptide interactions, cellular signaling, and gene expression models, while enabling comparative studies of peptide delivery methods. Designed strictly for research, the kit allows controlled investigation into solution stability, dispersion, and experimental outcomes.
