At a glance
Type: Synthetic tripeptide
Category: Short-peptide research
Alternate names: Lys-Glu-Asp, KED, T-38
Historical context
Vesugen, Epithalon and Pinealon are three short peptides from a related literature family and three different sequences. Vesugen is Lys-Glu-Asp, CAS 204271-66-9, 390.39 g/mol. Epithalon is one residue longer. A mass that looks similar on a quick glance is not an identity match. The lot record has to name KED.

Catalogue line
One fill: [Vesugen 10mg](/product/vesugen-10mg). [Epithalon 10mg](/product/epithalon-10mg) and Pinealon are separate SKUs with separate monographs. The Vesugen monograph is [/compounds/vesugen](/compounds/vesugen).
All VaultLabs materials are supplied strictly for in vitro laboratory and research use. Not for human consumption, medical use, or personal application.
Receiving
Put the sequence on the inventory row, not only the trade name. A 10 mg fill is shared by several short peptides in this catalogue, so the fill alone does not identify the vial.
Each sealed unit carries its own lot number. The current catalogue certificate for that lot is published on the batch page and states purity of at least 99.8 percent on the same VaultLabs template used for the rest of the lyophilized catalogue. A certificate for one fill does not qualify another fill. A certificate for a blend does not qualify a single-sequence vial that happens to share part of a name. Do not copy a purity figure from a different product, from a photograph of another vial, or from a paper into the receiving file. Match the printed name, the nominal mass and the lot number on the vial to the published record. If those three do not agree, hold the unit and ask for the document that belongs to that unit before it leaves quarantine. Enter the printed lot at batch verification.
