Overview
Thymosin Alpha-1 (Tα1) is a 28 amino acid peptide naturally secreted by the thymus gland and a key regulator of immune system homeostasis. Originally isolated from thymosin fraction 5 by Allan Goldstein in 1977, Tα1 has been extensively studied for its immunomodulatory properties including T-cell maturation, dendritic cell activation, and NK cell enhancement. It is one of the most clinically advanced thymic peptides, with regulatory approval in several countries for immune restoration.

T. Voss, Immunology Lab –
Thymosin Alpha-1 met all purity specs. Great service, arrived with ice packs still cold. Exactly what we needed for immunomodulation studies.
