Thymulin is a zinc-binding thymic nonapeptide supplied as a lyophilized powder for laboratory research. Its sequence is Pyr-Ala-Lys-Ser-Gln-Gly-Gly-Ser-Asn (9 residues). Researchers study it in T-cell differentiation models, where short peptides are used as tools for examining sequence-specific binding and protein interactions. Kimera Chems supplies this material for controlled laboratory studies only.
Chemical Composition & Purity
Thymulin has the molecular formula C₃₃H₅₄N₁₂O₁₅ and a molecular weight of 858.86 g/mol. It appears as a white to off-white lyophilized powder. Purity for this lot is documented on its batch-specific Certificate of Analysis, available for batch KC-TYL-BLU1.
The certificates for batch KC-TYL-BLU1 are labelled Thymalin. That label is incorrect: mass spectrometry identifies this batch as Thymulin, which is the name it is sold under. This applies to batch KC-TYL-BLU1 only, until this stock is gone.
Research Applications
Thymulin is used as a reference peptide in cell-free and in vitro systems. Its 9-residue sequence gives a defined three-dimensional shape, and the side chain charges determine how it behaves in binding studies.
- Receptor Binding: Measuring peptide-protein affinity in cell-free systems.
- Competitive Assays: Examining displacement of labeled ligands.
- Structural Studies: Analyzing folding patterns in solution.
- Stability Testing: Monitoring degradation under various conditions.
Storage & Handling Protocol
Store at controlled room temperature, sealed and protected from light.
Storage guidance is a house recommendation. Analytical documentation is per-lot release testing.
Compliance & Usage Disclaimer
This product is for Research Use Only (RUO). It is not for human or animal consumption or clinical application. Kimera Chems supplies Thymulin strictly to qualified institutions and researchers.
