Molecular Weight: ~3108 Da (Daltons)
Molecular Formula: C129H215N33O55 (for the standard peptide)
Structure: A 28-amino acid polypeptide.
Key Functions:
Immune System Modulation: Acts as a toll-like receptor (TLR-2, TLR-9) agonist, activating immune cells and enhancing both innate and adaptive responses.
T-Cell Enhancement: Promotes T-cell maturation (CD4+/CD8+) and activation, crucial for cell-mediated immunity.
Cytokine Regulation: Increases levels of beneficial cytokines like IL-2, IL-12, and interferons (IFN-α, IFN-γ).
Anti-Infective Properties: Shows antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral activity, used in treating chronic viral infections like Hepatitis B/C.
Anti-Tumor Effects: Inhibits cancer cell proliferation, promotes cancer cell death (apoptosis), and helps the immune system recognize tumors.
Anti-Inflammatory Action: Helps control excessive inflammation, potentially beneficial in autoimmune conditions.
Vaccine Adjuvant: Enhances the body's response to vaccines.
Protects Immune Cells: Blocks steroid-induced apoptosis (cell death) in thymocytes (developing T-cells).
