Immune-modulating thymic peptide
Thymosin alpha-1
Matched on: name
Thymosin alpha-1 (thymalfasin) is an N-terminally acetylated 28-amino-acid peptide originally isolated from thymic tissue and corresponding to a region of prothymosin alpha. It has context-dependent immunomodulatory effects involving dendritic-cell maturation, innate pattern-recognition signaling, T-cell function, cytokine regulation, and restoration of immune responsiveness; these mechanisms do not imply benefit for every immune or infectious condition.
