Thymus Gland Hormones: Thymosin, Thymulin & Thymopoietin - Function & Role

* Thymosin: Thymosin is a peptide hormone that plays a role in the development and maturation of T cells. It is produced by the epithelial cells of the thymus gland.

* Thymulin: Thymulin is a peptide hormone that is involved in the differentiation of T cells into mature, functional T cells. It is also produced by the epithelial cells of the thymus gland.

* Thymopoietin: Thymopoietin is a peptide hormone that is involved in the regulation of T cell proliferation and differentiation. It is produced by the stromal cells of the thymus gland.

* Interleukin-1 (IL-1): IL-1 is a cytokine that is involved in the regulation of the immune response. It is produced by the macrophages of the thymus gland.

* Interleukin-2 (IL-2): IL-2 is a cytokine that is involved in the proliferation and differentiation of T cells. It is produced by the T cells of the thymus gland.

* Interleukin-7 (IL-7): IL-7 is a cytokine that is involved in the development and maturation of T cells. It is produced by the stromal cells of the thymus gland.
