Testagen

Testagen is a synthetic tetrapeptide, H-Lys-Glu-Asp-Gly-OH (single-letter KEDG), of L-lysine, L-glutamic acid, L-aspartic acid and glycine — a single-residue variant of Epithalon (Lys in place of the N-terminal Ala) from the St.

A linear tetrapeptide, H-Lys-Glu-Asp-Gly-OH (single-letter KEDG), of L-lysine, L-glutamic acid, L-aspartic acid and glycine with free termini; it differs from Epithalon (AEDG) only at the first residue (Lys in place of the N-terminal Ala). The formula C17H29N5O9 follows from the four residues less three waters and reconciles with the sequence-derived structure (no unassigned stereocentres). Registry coverage is thin: no PubChem CID, UNII, or InChIKey is asserted here — the entity ships as ChemicalSubstance on its verified sequence and formula rather than a machine-verified key (see the identifiers report). The CAS number is provisional and single-source. A computed 3D conformer is held pending the chemist sign-off.

Reference context

Testagen is a synthetic tetrapeptide, H-Lys-Glu-Asp-Gly-OH (single-letter KEDG), of L-lysine, L-glutamic acid, L-aspartic acid and glycine — a single-residue variant of Epithalon (Lys in place of the N-terminal Ala) from the St. Petersburg (Khavinson) line of short peptide bioregulators. It is listed here strictly as an analytical reference entity — it is not sold, stocked, or certified by Lineará, and has no price or certificate of analysis. The data on this page is characterization only: molecular formula C17H29N5O9 and the values computed from it. No biological activity, mechanism, or use is described or implied.

How Testagen is characterized

Identity rests on the molecular formula and mass. Electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) measures the mass-to-charge ratio of the intact molecule; the average and monoisotopic masses are computed from the verified formula and cross-check the composition. The residue sequence and the modifications noted above define the structure.

Frequently asked questions

What is Testagen?
Testagen is a synthetic tetrapeptide, H-Lys-Glu-Asp-Gly-OH (single-letter KEDG), of L-lysine, L-glutamic acid, L-aspartic acid and glycine — a single-residue variant of Epithalon (Lys in place of the N-terminal Ala) from the St. Petersburg (Khavinson) line of short peptide bioregulators. It is listed here strictly as an analytical reference entity — it is not sold, stocked, or certified by Lineará, and has no price or certificate of analysis. The data on this page is characterization only: molecular formula C17H29N5O9 and the values computed from it. No biological activity, mechanism, or use is described or implied.
What is the amino-acid sequence of Testagen?
Testagen has the sequence Lys-Glu-Asp-Gly. A linear tetrapeptide, H-Lys-Glu-Asp-Gly-OH (single-letter KEDG), of L-lysine, L-glutamic acid, L-aspartic acid and glycine with free termini; it differs from Epithalon (AEDG) only at the first residue (Lys in place of the N-terminal Ala). The formula C17H29N5O9 follows from the four residues less three waters and reconciles with the sequence-derived structure (no unassigned stereocentres). Registry coverage is thin: no PubChem CID, UNII, or InChIKey is asserted here — the entity ships as ChemicalSubstance on its verified sequence and formula rather than a machine-verified key (see the identifiers report). The CAS number is provisional and single-source. A computed 3D conformer is held pending the chemist sign-off.
What is the molecular formula of Testagen?
Testagen has the molecular formula C17H29N5O9, giving an average molecular weight of 447.44 g/mol and a computed monoisotopic mass of 447.1965 Da.
What are the key chemical identifiers for Testagen?
The CAS Registry Number for Testagen is 1026993-38-3.
Is Testagen a peptide?
Yes. Testagen is a peptide — a chain of amino-acid residues joined by peptide bonds, 4 residues in length. Its identity is defined by that sequence and its molecular mass.
How is Testagen stored and reconstituted?
As a research material, Testagen is typically handled as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. It is kept desiccated and cold — commonly 2–8 °C for short periods and −20 °C for longer storage — and reconstituted in sterile or bacteriostatic water. This is storage and handling information only, not a use protocol.
Does Lineará sell Testagen?
No. Testagen is listed here only as an analytical reference entity. It is not part of the Lineará formulary, has no price or certificate of analysis, and is not offered for sale.
Is Testagen approved for human use?
No. Testagen is presented strictly as characterization reference data. It is not a drug, is not approved for any human or veterinary use, and must not be administered to humans or animals.
