About Thymosin Alpha-1
Thymosin Alpha-1 (thymalfasin) is a 28-residue peptide derived from the thymus, studied extensively in immune-modulation and host-defense research models. It is a reference immunoregulatory peptide. TagPep is adding Thymosin Alpha-1 as a research-use-only reference material.
Mechanism studied in research
Studied for modulation of T-cell maturation and Toll-like-receptor signaling in immune-research models.
Areas of research investigation
- Immune-modulation assays

Laboratory handling
Lyophilized; research reconstitution with sterile or bacteriostatic water, refrigerated solution, frozen light-protected powder.
Thymosin Alpha-1 research FAQ
Is Thymosin Alpha-1 the same as TB-500?
No — Thymosin Alpha-1 (immune research) and Thymosin Beta-4 / TB-500 (tissue-repair research) are different peptides from the thymosin family with distinct research profiles.
What is Thymosin Alpha-1 studied for?
Immune-modulation and host-defense research models. TagPep supplies it as research-use-only material.
Research use only. Thymosin Alpha-1 is supplied as a laboratory reference material for in-vitro and research applications. It is not a drug, supplement or medical product, and is not intended for human or veterinary use, consumption, or clinical application.
