What is Thymosin Alpha-1? Thymosin Alpha-1 (Tα1) is a 28-amino acid peptide originally isolated from the thymus gland, an organ that plays a crucial role in developing and regulating immune function. The thymus produces several biologically active peptides called thymosins, with Thymosin Alpha-1 being one of the most extensively studied for its immune-modulating properties.
What is AOD 9604? AOD 9604 (Advanced Obesity Drug 9604) is a modified synthetic peptide consisting of amino acids 176-191 from the C-terminal region of human growth hormone (hGH). Developed by Metabolic Pharmaceuticals in Australia, it was specifically designed to retain the fat-burning effects of growth hormone while eliminating effects on insulin sensitivity, blood sugar regulation, and cell proliferation that can occur with full-length hGH.
What is TB-500? TB-500 is a synthetic peptide consisting of 43 amino acids, designed to mimic the active region of Thymosin Beta-4 (Tβ4), a naturally occurring protein discovered in the thymus gland. While the name TB-500 is commonly used in research circles, it's important to understand its relationship to the natural protein it replicates.
What is SLU-PP-332? SLU-PP-332 is a synthetic small molecule compound developed at Saint Louis University that acts as a potent agonist of estrogen-related receptors. Unlike most peptides we discuss, SLU-PP-332 is actually a small molecule drug, but it's grouped with research peptides due to its novel mechanism and emerging research status.
