Description
Thymosin Alpha-1 (TA1, Tα1) is a synthetic peptide consisting of 28 amino acids that corresponds to a fragment originally identified in thymus tissue. Its defining structural feature is acetylation at the N-terminus, which sets it apart from the unmodified parent sequence and is frequently noted in peptide-chemistry studies as a factor relevant to molecular stability.
With an approximate molecular weight of 3108 Da, TA1 belongs to the family of short-chain thymic peptides. It has been a recurring subject in cellular and biochemical investigations, where researchers examine its sequence characteristics, the influence of the acetyl modification, and its behavior in signaling-pathway and immunology-adjacent model systems. Bolt Peptide supplies this material exclusively for such in vitro and benchtop work.
General areas of laboratory research interest include:
- Thymic peptide chemistry and structure-function characterization
- Investigations into N-terminal acetylation and peptide stability
- Cellular signaling and immune-pathway model systems
- Comparative studies of short-chain synthetic peptides
Each unit contains 10mg of lyophilized Thymosin Alpha-1 in a sealed glass vial. Purity is typically 99%+ as assessed by HPLC, with identity and molecular weight confirmed by mass spectrometry. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is available for each batch. Store the lyophilized powder cold and protected from light, reconstitute with an appropriate solvent under sterile conditions, and handle using standard laboratory practices for research-grade peptides.
