Description

Thymulin (Zn-FTS) — 1 mg, ≥98 % HPLC — research overview

Thymulin is a nine-residue thymic peptide whose biological activity depends on stoichiometric Zn²⁺ binding. It is used in T-cell maturation, immunosenescence and neuroendocrine-immune research.

Peptide Shop supplies Thymulin (1 × 1 mg vial) as a sealed research material with lot-level documentation. This product is supplied for in-vitro laboratory research only and is not intended for human use, veterinary use, therapy, diagnosis, cosmetic application or consumption.

Research applications

  • T-cell receptor and CD differentiation research
  • Immunosenescence and thymic-involution studies
  • Neuroendocrine-immune crossover research models
  • Zinc-dependent peptide biology research

Sequence and analytical data

Supplied as the apo-peptide (zinc-free); add equimolar ZnSO4 in assay buffer to generate the active Zn-bound form. Identity confirmed by ESI-MS.

Storage and handling

Store lyophilised at -20 °C protected from moisture. Reconstitute fresh and add Zn²⁺ immediately before use.

Documentation

A lot-specific Certificate of Analysis is available in EN, DE, FR and ES from the product detail page after dispatch. The CoA reports HPLC purity, identity confirmation, appearance, and storage and handling guidance for the dispatched lot.

FAQs

Is Zn²⁺ included in the vial?

No — Thymulin is supplied as the apo-peptide. Add equimolar Zn²⁺ (typically as ZnSO4 or ZnCl2) in your assay buffer to reconstitute the biologically active Zn-FTS complex.

Why does activity require zinc?

Zn²⁺ binding induces the bioactive conformation; the apo-peptide is essentially inactive in published T-cell maturation assays.

Origin of the sequence?

Thymulin is identical across mammalian species; it was originally isolated as serum thymic factor (FTS) from porcine serum.
