Product Details
Description:
Thymosin Alpha-1 is the acetylated N-terminal fragment of the prothymosin alpha protein, with the amino acid sequence Ac-Ser-Asp-Ala-Ala-Val-Asp-Thr-Ser-Ser-Glu-Ile-Thr-Thr-Lys-Asp-Leu-Lys-Glu-Lys-Lys-Glu-Val-Val-Glu-Glu-Ala-Glu-Asn-OH. It is a 28-amino acid peptide that was first identified in thymus tissue.
In preclinical research, it is investigated for its role as a modulator of the immune system. Studies in various immune cell models often focus on its effects on T-cell maturation and differentiation, and its interaction with pattern recognition receptors such as Toll-like receptors (TLRs).
