Thymosin Alpha-1 research guide · Updated 24 Oct 2026

What is Thymosin Alpha-1?

Thymosin alpha-1 is a 28 amino acid peptide, acetylated at its N terminal end, that comes from the larger protein prothymosin alpha. It was first isolated from thymus tissue, and its international name is thymalfasin. It is studied in immune system research. It is supplied as a lyophilized powder for in vitro and preclinical laboratory research only.

How Thymosin Alpha-1 is tested

A good Thymosin Alpha-1 listing comes with a lab report for the exact lot in the vial. These are the results to look for:

  • Purity (HPLC)

    How much of the sample is the compound

  • Identity (MS or LCMS)

    Confirms it is the right molecule

  • Net content

    The real mg in the vial versus the label

  • Endotoxin (LAL)

    Bacterial residue, reported in EU

  • Sterility

    Confirms nothing is growing in the vial

  • Heavy metals (ICP-MS)

    Arsenic, cadmium, lead and mercury

Storage and handling

Keep Thymosin Alpha-1 vials at 2 to 8 °C, dry and away from light, before reconstitution. Once reconstituted for laboratory use, store at 2 to 8 °C and use within 28 days.

Thymosin alpha-1 vs TB-500

Despite the shared name, thymosin alpha-1 and TB-500 (thymosin beta-4) are unrelated peptides with different sequences. Thymosin alpha-1 has 28 amino acids. Thymosin beta-4 has 43.
