Thymosin Alpha-1 (Tα1) is a 28-amino-acid peptide originally isolated from thymic tissue and derived from the precursor prothymosin alpha. It is used as a reference compound in immunology research.
Thymosin Alpha-1 is one of the most studied thymic peptides and serves as a tool compound in research on immune-cell signaling and maturation.
In laboratory and animal studies, Thymosin Alpha-1 has been investigated for its effects on T-cell differentiation, dendritic-cell and Toll-like-receptor signaling, and immune-response modulation. These observations are limited to laboratory and preclinical research settings and are not statements about outcomes in humans.
Supplied as a lyophilized powder. Store lyophilized material at -20°C. Reconstitution with bacteriostatic or sterile water is common for laboratory handling; keep any reconstituted solution refrigerated and use it within the timeframe appropriate to the researcher’s protocol.
For synthetic research peptides, purity is determined by HPLC and identity is confirmed by mass spectrometry. Independent third-party testing is expanding across the catalog, and each certificate of analysis is published on the product page it covers as results come back. Refer to that certificate for the testing laboratory, the methods run, and the measured values. Endotoxin and sterility testing are not performed unless explicitly stated.
