What is Thymalin?

Thymalin is a peptide that closely resembles thymulin, in the sense that it can be found in the thymus. It is believed

to play the role of a bioregulator and cannot be encountered outside of the thymus. Its purpose is to aid in the

process of regulating the thymus and help with the production of other thymus peptides. Thymalin represents a peptide

constituted of 2 amino-peptide that encourage positive gene expression when it comes to the activity in the thymus. It

introduces itself to a DNA sequence and "dilates" the positive areas of it.


Application&Function

Usage: process of hair growth utilizes many cellular and molecular mechanisms common to angiogenesis and

wound healing. While studying the influence of thymosin beta-4 (Tβ4) on wound healing, Philp et al. accidentally

found that hair grew more rapidly around the edges of wounds. In due course, they showed that Tβ4 induced rapid

hair growth on the dorsal skin of healthy mice.
