Thymulin Research Guide

Full name: Thymulin (Facteur Thymique Serique)

A zinc-dependent nonapeptide secreted by thymic epithelial cells that is essential for T-cell differentiation. Levels decline dramatically with thymic involution during aging.

How Thymulin Works

Binds to specific receptors on T-cell precursors promoting their differentiation into mature T-cells, modulates cytokine production, and requires zinc as cofactor.
