Thymosin Alpha-1 (Tα1), also known as thymalfasin, is a synthetic 28-amino-acid peptide based on a naturally occurring thymic peptide originally isolated from thymosin fraction 5.
Thymosin Alpha-1 has a defined N-acetylated peptide structure and is used as a reference compound in laboratory research involving peptide characterization, cellular signaling, molecular interactions, and related biological pathways.
Its 28-amino-acid sequence is represented as SDAAVDTSSEITTKDLKEKKEVVEEAEN, with an acetylated N-terminus. This well-characterized structure makes Thymosin Alpha-1 suitable for controlled biochemical and analytical research applications.
