What Does Thymosin Alpha-1 Dissolve In? Solvents Explained
Solubility behaviour is where compounds in this library differ most sharply from one another. For Thymosin Alpha-1, the determining factors are structural: n-acetylated 28-residue thymic peptide.
Overview
Very water-friendly.
What Thymosin Alpha-1 actually is
A 28-part peptide the thymus gland makes naturally, with one of the deepest research records of any immune peptide. Studied for how it helps T-cells mature and how the immune system responds to infection. The clinical version is called Zadaxin.
Supplied for laboratory research use only — not for human or animal use.
Third-party tested by HPLC and LC-MS, ≥99% purity, with a Certificate of Analysis on every order. Ships across Canada.

How Thymosin Alpha-1 behaves in solution
Highly water-soluble. The sequence is strongly acidic and intrinsically disordered, with no hydrophobic core to resist dissolution, so it takes up water readily.
Commonly worked at 1-5 mg/mL.

Structural basis
Thymosin Alpha-1 is n-acetylated 28-residue thymic peptide. Thymosin Alpha-1 is an N-terminally acetylated 28-amino-acid peptide derived from prothymosin alpha and originally isolated from thymic tissue. It is one of the most-studied immune-modulating peptides, examined for a role in T-cell maturation and immune signalling; the clinical formulation is known as Zadaxin.
What Thymosin Alpha-1 is studied for
Studied for a role in the maturation and function of T-cells in immune research models.
Examined around innate immune signalling pathways, including Toll-like-receptor involvement, in preclinical work.
Investigated in models of immune response to infection and as a research adjuvant.
