Abstract

thymosins have been extracted, characterized, and identified from thymus. the thymosins are hormones whose therapeuric applications have seen a recent increase. the action of thymosin α1 is based on the stimulation of the immune response with a large number of results in a variety of pathologies. the absence of a specific receptor prompted us to investigate the direct interaction with membranes, particularly those exposing phosphatidylserine thus contributing to assess the thymosin α1's pleiotropy.
