What is Thymosin Alpha-1?

Thymosin Alpha-1 (Ta1) is an N-terminally acetylated 28-amino acid peptide originally isolated from thymic tissue (Thymosin Fraction 5) by Allan Goldstein in the 1970s. It is derived from the precursor protein prothymosin alpha and plays a role in T-cell development and immune regulation. Published research has documented Ta1 interaction with Toll-like receptors (TLR2, TLR9), leading to activation of dendritic cells and downstream NF-kB and IRF7 signaling. It has been studied as an immune modulator in over 30 countries. For laboratory research use only.
