Serum thymic factor (acetate)

Serum thymic factor acetate (Thymulin acetate) is the acetate salt form of Serum thymic factor (HY-P3206). Serum thymic factor acetate is a zinc-dependent immunomodulatory peptide hormone, which can be produced by the thymic epithelial cells. Serum thymic factor acetate stimulates the release of hormones from the pituitary gland, exhibits hypophysiotropic activity. Serum thymic factor acetate protects rats from Cephaloridine (HY-B2072)-induced nephrotoxicity by inhibiting ERK activation. Serum thymic factor acetate exhibits anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects. Serum thymic factor acetate can be used in research about endocrine, reproductive, neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases[1][2][3][4].
