What is Epitalon and what is GLP-3 RTA?
Epitalon is classified as Synthetic tetrapeptide; GLP-3 RTA as Synthetic triple-agonist peptide. Both profiles below cover scientific identity only — what the molecule is and which laboratory models it appears in. Verve supplies both strictly as in-vitro reference materials, and neither profile describes human or veterinary use.
Epitalon
Synthetic tetrapeptide
Epitalon is a synthetic tetrapeptide with the sequence alanyl-glutamyl-aspartyl-glycine (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly), developed as a short synthetic analog of a peptide fraction isolated from the pineal gland. It is a small, water-soluble peptide and one of the most frequently cited reference compounds in pineal-peptide and cellular-aging research literature.

Synthetic triple-agonist peptide
GLP-3 RTA is a synthetic single-chain peptide engineered to act at three related class B G-protein-coupled receptors at once: the GLP-1 receptor, the GIP receptor, and the glucagon receptor. Its backbone is derived from the incretin peptide family and carries a fatty-acid modification that extends plasma half-life in pre-clinical systems, making it a widely cited reference agonist in incretin-receptor research.
full GLP-3 RTA profile →Which research models is each compound studied in?
Epitalon sits in longevity & cellular research and GLP-3 RTA in weight & metabolic research, so their listed models largely do not intersect. The table lists 5 reported research applications for Epitalon and 5 for GLP-3 RTA. Rows are per compound, not equivalences.
| Epitalon — reported research applications | GLP-3 RTA — reported research applications |
|---|---|
| Telomerase-expression research models | GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptor agonism research |
| Pineal-peptide and circadian-signaling research | cAMP and class B GPCR signaling research models |
| Chromatin and gene-regulation studies | Comparative single-, dual-, and triple-agonist pharmacology studies |
| Cellular-senescence and replicative-aging research models | Metabolic-pathway and nutrient-handling research models |
| Short-peptide stability and synthesis research | Peptide half-life, lipidation, and stability research |
