Description
Thymulin (also known as Facteur Thymique Serique or FTS) is a nonapeptide hormone naturally produced by the thymus gland that requires zinc for its biological activity. It plays a critical role in T-cell differentiation and maturation, acting as a key regulator of the adaptive immune system. Thymulin binds to high-affinity receptors on T-cells to promote their differentiation into various functional subtypes, including helper, cytotoxic, and suppressor T-cells. Thymulin levels naturally decline with age as the thymus involutes, which is believed to contribute significantly to age-related immune dysfunction (immunosenescence). Restoring thymulin levels is a key area of anti-aging and immunological research.

Research Notes
Research published in Immunology Letters and the Journal of Immunology demonstrates thymulin's essential role in T-cell maturation and immune homeostasis. Studies show that thymulin levels decline dramatically with age, correlating with reduced immune competence. Zinc supplementation studies have shown restoration of thymulin activity, highlighting the zinc-thymulin axis as a key target in immunogerontology research. CAS number: 63958-90-7.
