Thymosin Alpha-1
Tα1, N-Acetyl-Ser-Asp-Ala-Ala-Val-Asp-Thr-Ser-Ser-Glu-Ile-Thr-Thr-Lys-Asp-Leu-Lys-Glu-Lys-Lys-Glu-Val-Val-Glu-Glu-Ala-Glu-Asn
Thymosin Alpha-1 is a potent immunomodulatory peptide that enhances T-lymphocyte function, activates natural killer cells, and strengthens both innate and adaptive immune responses. Originally derived from the thymus gland, it plays a crucial role in immune system maturation and has been extensively studied for treating viral infections, cancer, and immunodeficiency disorders.
Complete Research Database
Dual Receptor Mechanism (GIP/GLP-1)
GLP-1 Receptor Pathway
- •Increases insulin secretion (glucose-dependent)
- •Suppresses glucagon release
- •Slows gastric emptying
- •Enhances satiety in hypothalamus
- •Preserves beta-cell function
GIP Receptor Pathway
- •Enhances insulin secretion (stronger than GLP-1)
- •Promotes fat oxidation
- •Improves insulin sensitivity in muscle
- •Reduces hepatic glucose production
- •Modulates adipose tissue metabolism
Why Dual Agonism is Superior
Thymosin Alpha-1 binds to specific receptors on T-lymphocytes and dendritic cells, enhancing T-cell differentiation, promoting regulatory T-cell function, and stimulating interferon-alpha production. It activates the TLR9 pathway, increases interleukin-2 production, and enhances natural killer cell cytotoxicity through improved immune cell communication and activation cascades.
