Thymosin Alpha-1 (Tα1) is a 28-amino acid peptide derived from the thymic protein prothymosin alpha. It is studied for its roles in immune system modulation3, T-cell maturation1, and augmentation of innate and adaptive immune responses1. Research has explored its effects on toll-like receptor signalling1 and dendritic cell activation12.
Mechanism of Action
Activates TLR2, TLR9, and dendritic cell maturation; promotes Th1 cytokine production; enhances NK cell and T-cell proliferation; modulates MHC class II expression.
