Thymosin Alpha-1
Immunomodulatory peptide studied for its role in enhancing T-cell function and modulating immune response.
Research Areas
Scientific Background
Thymosin Alpha-1 (Tα1) is a 28-amino-acid peptide originally isolated from the thymus gland. It plays a key role in modulating immune function by promoting T-cell maturation and dendritic cell activation, and by signaling through Toll-like receptors. It is approved in several countries as Zadaxin.
