Background:

The thymus gland produces several hormones or hormone-like substances which are derived from a polypeptide precursor containing (in the rat) 113 amino acids and known as prothymosin alpha. A peptide containing 28 amino acid residues, named thymosin alpha 1, was originally isolated from calf thymosin fraction 5 and shown to restore various aspects of immune function in several in vitro and in vivo test systems. Thymosin alpha 1 was subsequently isolated from a similar fraction from human thymosin and reported to have the same amino acid sequence as bovine thymosin alpha 1. Function : Prothymosin alpha may mediate immune function by conferring resistance to certain opportunistic infections.

Also known as:

Prothymosin alpha (gene sequence 28); Prothymosin alpha; Prothymosin alpha like 1 protein; Thymalfasin; Thymosin alpha 1 acetate; Thymosin alpha 1; Thymosin alpha; TMSA; PTMA; PTMA_HUMAN.
