N-acetylated thymic peptide of 28 residues with a free C-terminal acid
Research topic: Skin & ageing · group: Other skin-research compounds
Thymosin alpha 1, international non-proprietary name thymalfasin, is a linear peptide of 28 residues: its N-terminal serine carries an acetyl group and its C-terminus is a free acid. It was first isolated and sequenced from thymosin fraction 5, a calf-thymus preparation, and matches residues 2 to 29 of the human precursor prothymosin alpha; the peptide we supply is synthetic. Despite the shared word, it is a different molecule from thymosin β4, and it is a defined peptide where Thymalin is a thymus extract. On pepoderma it is listed with the other skin-research compounds of the skin and ageing topic. The two trials in our product data, given under their study names, enrolled adults with sepsis at hospitals in China.
Same molecule, not a medicine
Thymalfasin, the same molecule, is the active ingredient of medicines authorised in some countries. What we supply is the same molecule, but not a medicine: lyophilized research material in vials, not a finished drug product.
Besides the vials, Thymosin Alpha 1 is bottled as a nasal spray, held in stock in the United States and shipped from there.

What to put in your quote request
With these facts the first reply can carry the unit price per kit, shipping and lead time.
Only by name or origin. Thymosin alpha 1 is one defined peptide of 28 residues. Thymalin is a polypeptide complex extracted from calf thymus, thymulin a separate nonapeptide, and thymosin β4 a different peptide with its own page. Each has its own identity tests.
Same molecule, different status. Medicines that contain thymalfasin are drug products with their own formulation and labelling. We supply the peptide as lyophilized powder for research; it is not a medicine.
Without it the chain is a different substance, the non-acetylated recombinant form, lighter by the mass of one acetyl group. The mass result on the lot COA separates the two.
One kit is 10 vials of the same product at the same strength. Each vial holds the stated amount, for example 10 mg of lyophilized peptide; the few solutions are stated per vial in mg or ml. 1 kit per product and strength. One order can combine several products and strengths, each from 1 kit.
HPLC purity, MS identity, endotoxin and fill, on the COA of every lot of a stocked peptide. The COA carries the lot number, so you can match it to the vials you receive. Yes. Ask for the COA of the batch you are quoted; the batch number on that COA is the batch we ship.
In writing, per request. Prices are tiered by the number of kits of each peptide and strength; the quotation gives the unit price per kit, the shipping cost and the lead time. We reply within 24 hours.
Because listings describe different forms: a free peptide or a salt (acetate, TFA), a copper complex or its free peptide, one peptide or a two-peptide material — and some registries keep older numbers. Each product page says which form its values refer to; the COA of the lot is the reference. For Thymosin Alpha 1: Public records also list 69521-94-4 next to 62304-98-7; our product data follow the primary number of the GSRS substance record.
