aka thymalinum
Immune Modulator
Mechanism
Thymalin is a heterogeneous polypeptide extract from calf thymus (a mixture, not a single defined peptide) developed in the 1970s by V. Kh. Khavinson and V. G. Morozov at the Military Medical Academy / St. Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology. Registered as a pharmaceutical in the USSR/Russia for immunocorrection. Distinct from Thymulin (Bach's zinc-dependent nonapeptide pGlu-Ala-Lys-Ser-Gln-Gly-Gly-Ser-Asn, originally called FTS) and from Thymosin alpha-1 (a 28-amino-acid synthetic peptide). Not FDA-approved in the US; research-use only.
