Thymosin Alpha 1
Thymosin Alpha 1 is a 28-amino-acid peptide with the molecular formula C129H215N33O55 and a molecular weight of 3,108.32 g/mol (CAS 62304-98-7). First isolated in 1977 from a calf thymus extract called Thymosin Fraction 5, it is also known as thymalfasin. The peptide has an acetyl group attached to its N-terminus and begins with serine. It contains no cysteine residues and no disulfide bonds, giving it a straightforward linear structure. Thymosin Alpha 1 is classified as a thymic peptide, part of a family of compounds originally derived from the thymus gland. It is supplied as a white to off-white lyophilized powder, soluble in water, and requires refrigeration when reconstituted. This product is strictly for research purposes only.

+ ENDO PASSEDOverview
Thymosin Alpha 1 is a 28-amino-acid peptide with the molecular formula C129H215N33O55 and a molecular weight of 3,108.32 g/mol. It was first isolated in 1977 from Thymosin Fraction 5, a partially purified extract of calf thymus tissue. The compound is identified by CAS number 62304-98-7 and is also known by the name thymalfasin.
Structurally, Thymosin Alpha 1 is an acetylated peptide — meaning it has an acetyl group attached to its N-terminus (the starting end of the amino acid chain), beginning with serine. It lacks cysteine residues and therefore contains no disulfide bonds, which contributes to its relatively straightforward linear structure. The peptide is classified as a thymic peptide, belonging to a family of compounds originally derived from the thymus gland, an organ located behind the breastbone. It is supplied as a white to off-white lyophilized powder, soluble in water, and requires refrigeration when reconstituted.
