What is testagen, and what is it studied for?

What is the structure of Testagen?

Four residues with free termini: lysine, glutamate, aspartate, glycine. Residue masses 146.19, 147.13, 133.10 and 75.07 sum to 501.49; subtracting three waters (54.05) gives 447.44, which matches the certificate's 447.4 by MALDI-MS. Net charge near minus one at neutral pH; immediately water-soluble. The CAS field is blank because no registry number has been confirmed.

How is Testagen thought to work?

As for the series, the designers propose direct interaction with DNA that alters gene expression; no receptor is identified and the model is not independently established. Specific reports on this tetrapeptide are limited to the programme's cell and rodent work.

Which research areas use Testagen?

Area	Typical models and endpoints
Endocrine tissue models	Cell-culture and rodent work from the bioregulator programme.
Bioregulator comparisons	Side-by-side work with vesugen and prostamax, which share the Lys-Glu-Asp core.
Analytical chemistry	A tetrapeptide whose identity is a worked mass calculation against a certificate.

What does the published literature show?

Anisimov and Khavinson's 2010 Biogerontology review and Khavinson and Morozov's 2003 report place the tetrapeptide in the series. Primary reports are sparse and from one laboratory group; no clinical study is registered and no product is approved. Research use is in-vitro and preclinical.

How is Testagen handled in the laboratory?

Dissolves instantly in water or buffer. No oxidation-prone residues; aspartate isomerisation is the slow route, so hold stocks near neutral. Store lyophilized at minus 20 °C; aliquot and freeze. The concentration table covers volumes and syringe units; the storage guide covers stability by compound class.

What does the current certificate show?

Lot TESTA20-0528 tested at 99.9% purity by RP-HPLC (214 nm), identity confirmed by MALDI-MS, endotoxin <0.05 EU/mL. The certificate is in the COA library and the lot number on the vial matches it. Sold as 20 mg per vial at $60, for laboratory research only.
