Thymosin Alpha-1
Also known as: Tα1, Zadaxin (parent drug)
Synthetic 28-amino-acid acetylated peptide identical in sequence to the endogenous thymic hormone thymosin-α1.
Thymosin Alpha-1 (Tα1) is a 28-amino-acid peptide produced physiologically by the thymus gland as part of its role in T-cell maturation.
The synthetic form is a highly purified peptide identical in sequence to the endogenous hormone.The research literature on Tα1 spans both immunology and gerontology contexts — T-cell maturation signaling, innate immune activation (TLR2/TLR9 pathways), viral and bacterial infection models, and age-related thymic-involution research.
The parent pharmaceutical (Zadaxin) is approved in roughly 35 countries for specific clinical indications including chronic hepatitis and as an adjuvant.Tα1 has strong dual positioning in the catalog — relevant to both longevity-research (thymic function, immune aging) and immune-modulation research contexts.

Thymosin Alpha-1 is a 28-amino-acid peptide derived from prothymosin alpha. It is a potent modulator of innate and adaptive immunity, studied for enhancing T-cell maturation, dendritic cell function, and antibody responses to antigens.
