Research reference only — not a catalog item
Epitalon
Research context
Published under the spelling Epithalon, this peptide appears in human fetal fibroblast culture research measuring telomerase activity and telomere length.
What has been studied
- Human cell culture
Khavinson et al. (2003), using the spelling Epithalon, added the peptide to telomerase-negative human fetal fibroblast cultures and recorded catalytic-subunit expression, telomerase activity, and telomere length. The cited work is an in vitro cell-culture study.
These labels restate the setting of the cited paper. They are not new findings and do not describe a catalog material.
Research model areas
- Human fetal fibroblast cultures
- Telomere and telomerase assays
