Overview
Thymulin is a synthetic zinc-dependent nonapeptide originally isolated from thymic tissue. Supplied as a lyophilised powder for in-vitro research use only.
Mechanism of Action
Reported in published in-vitro studies as a Zn²⁺-coordinating peptide active on T-lymphocyte differentiation cell-culture assays. Not intended for human or veterinary use.
