Thymulin, also known as Serum Thymic Factor (FTS), is a well-characterized neuroendocrine peptide consisting of a 9-amino-acid chain (Pyr-Ala-Lys-Ser-Gln-Gly-Gly-Ser-Asn-OH). It is a key hormone secreted by the thymus gland, an essential organ for the development and maturation of the immune system.

The biological activity of Thymulin is critically dependent on its binding to a zinc ion, forming the active metallopeptide complex. In this active state, Thymulin plays a pivotal role in immunomodulation. Its primary function is to promote the differentiation and maturation of T-lymphocytes (T-cells), which are crucial for adaptive immune responses.

Beyond its foundational role in immunology, Thymulin is being investigated for a wide range of potential applications. Research has highlighted its potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain-relieving) properties. It is studied for its ability to down-regulate pro-inflammatory cytokines, making it a subject of interest in research related to autoimmune conditions, neuroinflammation, and age-related immune decline (immunosenescence).

This product provides 5mg of high-purity, synthetic Thymulin peptide in a lyophilized state for stable long-term storage and accurate reconstitution for experimental use.
