Thymosin α-1

Thymosin alpha-1 (thymalfasin) is studied above all as an immunomodulator — a synthetic analogue of a naturally occurring thymic peptide that acts on signalling in both innate and adaptive immune cells. It ranks among the most extensively studied thymic peptides in its class, which is why it appears so often in laboratory protocols focused on immune regulation.

Supplied as a lyophilized powder in a glass vial carrying an RUO label. Every batch is verified by HPLC, making the reagent suitable for reproducible experimental work.

The full scientific detail — structure, mechanism of action, literature overview and cited sources — lives in a dedicated wiki monograph, linked from this page.

Store the lyophilate in a cool, dry place away from light; once reconstituted, handle it in line with standard laboratory practice for peptides.
