    Telomerase

    An enzyme that maintains telomere length, associated with cellular aging.

    Definition

    Telomerase is referenced in the context of Epitalon (Epithalon), a synthetic tetrapeptide based on the natural pineal peptide epithalamin. Research suggests Epitalon activates telomerase, potentially extending telomere length and influencing cellular aging. Animal studies have shown telomerase activation, telomere elongation, and lifespan extension, though human clinical data is limited.
