Description

Vilon is a synthetic dipeptide bioregulator consisting of L-lysine and L-glutamic acid (KE), originally isolated from thymic tissue extracts.
It is among the simplest biologically active peptides known to influence gene expression and cellular differentiation, particularly within immune and epithelial systems.

Research suggests that Vilon functions as an epigenetic modulator, capable of binding to specific DNA regions to activate transcription of genes involved in cell repair, cytokine balance, and immune homeostasis.
In vitro studies indicate potential roles in enhancing thymic peptide synthesis, normalizing immune responses, and supporting tissue regeneration under age-related or inflammatory stress conditions.

Because of its minimal structure and high biocompatibility, Vilon serves as a key model for studying short peptide–nucleus interactions, chromatin remodeling, and immunoregulatory mechanisms.
