Thymosin Alpha 1

Thymosin Alpha 1 (Tα1) is a synthetic peptide of 28 amino acids, supplied as a high-purity lyophilized powder for use as a biochemical reference compound in preclinical and in-vitro research. With a molecular formula of C₁₂₉H₂₁₅N₃₃O₅₅S and a molecular weight of 3,108.34 Da, it is characterised by a well-defined structure that supports consistent, reproducible laboratory work. Purity is verified at ≥ 99% by HPLC.

Research background

Thymosin Alpha 1 has been extensively studied in preclinical and in-vitro models investigating immunological signalling pathways and T-cell activation. It has been referenced in the literature in the context of signal transduction mechanisms and broader biochemical regulatory processes. Researchers have applied Tα1 as a tool compound to explore cellular activation responses and the downstream biochemical events associated with immune-related signalling cascades.

Reconstitution & handling

The lyophilized powder should be reconstituted with an appropriate volume of bacteriostatic water (BAC water). Add the BAC water slowly along the inner wall of the vial and gently swirl until the powder is fully dissolved — do not shake, as this may compromise peptide integrity. All handling should be carried out under suitable laboratory conditions using appropriate aseptic technique. Once reconstituted, keep the solution refrigerated.

Storage & stability

Store the lyophilized product in a cool, dry environment, protected from direct light and moisture. Avoid repeated temperature fluctuations. Once reconstituted, the solution should be kept refrigerated and used within a short timeframe to maintain research-grade integrity.
