RM-IMM / Immune and host-defense signaling
Thymulin
Also known as: FTS · Serum thymic factor · FTS-Zn
Grade describes the published research on the molecule. It is not a quality score, a safety score, or a release state.
What this is
Thymulin is a thymic nonapeptide historically called serum thymic factor. Its biological activity is described as zinc-dependent, so peptide identity alone is not a complete material record.
Evidence position
Mechanistic, observational and animal research supports Grade C. The evidence does not support a general clinical claim.
What the record does not establish
A label reading thymulin does not establish zinc association, composition, purity or activity. Those questions require analytical records tied to the exact lot.
