Thymulin
-
Thymulin is a nonapeptide produced by the thymus gland and is involved in modulating the immune system. It enhances T-cell differentiation and function, particularly the cytotoxic and helper T-cell subpopulations. Thymulin also has anti-inflammatory properties and modulates the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Thymulin’s immune-regulatory function helps restore normal immune activity in immunocompromised individuals and may provide therapeutic benefits in autoimmune diseases, inflammatory conditions, and infections. Additionally, Thymulin has been found to influence neuroendocrine functions by modulating the hypothalamic-pituitary axis.
