Thymosin Alpha 1 (10mg)
$ 90.00
Description Thymosin Alpha 1 is a synthetic peptide research reagent corresponding to a naturally occurring biological response modifier originally isolated from the thymus gland. It is chemically distinct for its pleiotropic capability to act as a stimulatory agent of the innate cell-mediated immune response. Researchers utilize this molecule to investigate the modulation of cytokine production, specifically exploring how it mitigates cytokine storms in severe viral models and its role as an immunotherapeutic adjuvant in oncology and severe sepsis research. Biochemical Characteristics Sequence/Structure: Peptide (28 amino acids); Recombinant or synthetic analogue of the endogenous thymic peptide utilized for its targeted biological activities. Permeability: Investigated for its systemic distribution and specific cellular interactions with immune cells such as T-cells, natural killer cells, and microglia in the central nervous system. Stability: Supplied as a lyophilized salt to ensure long-term stability and prevent hydrolytic degradation during storage. Specificity: Functions as a broad immunomodulator, specifically stimulating innate cell-mediated immunity and inhibiting microglia-mediated pro-inflammatory cytokines.
