Product Description

Thymosin Alpha-1 is a component of Thymosin Fraction 5 responsible for restoring immune function. Unlike β thymosins, which are genetically and chemically unrelated, Thymosin α1 is produced as a 28-amino acid peptide fragment from a longer, 113-amino acid precursor, prothymosin alpha.Thymosin Alpha-1 is a peptide fragment derived from prothymosin alpha.It was the first of the peptides from Thymosin Fraction 5 to be completely sequenced and synthesized. It is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PTMA gene. Thymosin Alpha-1 is considered to be a major component of Thymosin Fraction 5 which is responsible for restoring immune function in animals lacking thymus glands.
