Thymosin Alpha-1
Also known as: Tα1 · Thymalfasin
A thymus-derived peptide studied extensively for immune-modulating activity.
Overview
Thymosin Alpha-1 is a 28-amino-acid peptide originally isolated from the thymus, with a large research literature on immune regulation and a history of clinical study in immune-related contexts.
How it’s studied to work
It is studied as a modulator of T-cell maturation and innate immune signalling (including Toll-like-receptor pathways), helping tune immune responses in research models.
