Thymosin Alpha 1 research peptide
What is Thymosin Alpha 1?
Thymosin Alpha 1 (thymosin α1) is a 28-residue peptide, acetylated at its N-terminus, that was first isolated from thymosin fraction 5, an extract of calf thymus. It is cut from the precursor protein prothymosin α. The sequence is strongly acidic, with seven glutamates and three aspartates against four lysines, so the molecule carries a large net negative charge at neutral pH, and it has no aromatic residues and no cysteine. Thymosin α1 is studied in immunology research for its effects on T-cell maturation in laboratory models.
Thymosin Alpha Labs supplies it as a lyophilized powder in 5 mg vials through Klow.bio. Each lot is tested by an independent laboratory for HPLC-UV purity, LC-MS identity and net content, and its certificate is published here.
Structural features that matter for analysis
Ac-Ser1 is acetylated and Asn28 ends in a free acid. With no tryptophan, tyrosine or phenylalanine, the peptide absorbs only weakly above 220 nm, so HPLC purity is read at the peptide-bond wavelength.
