Overview
Synthetic pentapeptide corresponding to active site of thymopoietin for T-cell maturation and immune enhancement.
Mechanism of Action
Pentapeptide representing active region of thymopoietin (amino acids 32-36), induces differentiation of T-cell precursors, enhances T-helper and T-suppressor cell function, modulates cytokine production, supports thymic hormone activity.
Key Benefits
