Description
Thymosin Alpha 1 is a 28-amino-acid peptide with the molecular formula C129H215N33O55 and a molecular weight of 3,108.32 g/mol. It was first isolated in 1977 from Thymosin Fraction 5, a partially purified extract of calf thymus tissue. The compound is identified by CAS number 62304-98-7 and is also known by the name thymalfasin.
Structurally, Thymosin Alpha 1 is an acetylated peptide — meaning it has an acetyl group attached to its N-terminus (the starting end of the amino acid chain), beginning with serine. It lacks cysteine residues and therefore contains no disulfide bonds, which contributes to its relatively straightforward linear structure. The peptide is classified as a thymic peptide, belonging to a family of compounds originally derived from the thymus gland, an organ located behind the breastbone. It is supplied as a white to off-white lyophilized powder, soluble in water, and requires refrigeration when reconstituted.

Happy with international delivery
Shipped to Russia with proper documentation. The peptide worked fine in our flow cytometry experiments. Thank you
Megan O’Sullivan –
Nice addition to our thymosin panel
We’re testing multiple thymosins. Alpha-1 from Peptides Vital held up well in parallel assays. No complaints
Christina W. Zhao –
Helpful for our dose-response curve
Used in 5 concentrations — clean peptide peak on HPLC. No degradation issues. Thanks for the free shipping over $200.
Andre Fontaine –
Does the job for basic science
We saw expected biological activity in vitro. Not outstanding, but reliable enough for preliminary data. Shipping to EU took 3 days.
Priya Sharma –
Works as described
Reconstituted easily. Stability under -20°C was fine for 3 months. Would buy again for non-clinical work
Jonathan P. Myers –
Met expectations for research grade
Not the highest rating from me, but still a useful peptide for our T-cell modulation study. Customer service responded within a day.
Rachel K. Ikeda –
Decent batch consistency
Ordered two separate vials. Both showed similar activity in our ELISpot assay. A good option for early-stage research.
Samuel Greer –
We ran a small pilot with Thymosin Alpha-1. Results were promising, though we’ll need to repeat for significance. Shipping was fast and well-packaged

Good experience overall I saw the low average rating but decided to try it. Our results were actually quite consistent. Perhaps newer batches improved.
