Thymulin
What is Thymulin?
Thymulin is a nonapeptide produced by the thymus gland that requires zinc for its biological activity. It plays a role in the differentiation and function of T-lymphocytes and has immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects. Thymulin is believed to work by influencing the maturation of T-cells and modulating the production of cytokines. The peptide has shown potential in supporting immune function, reducing inflammation, and even having some analgesic effects. Research suggests it may be beneficial in conditions involving immune dysregulation and inflammation. Thymulin is particularly interesting for its zinc-dependent activity and its role in T-cell biology.
