MeSH Heading: Thymopoietins
Tree Number(s): D06.472.910.800
Unique ID: D013946
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D013946
Annotation: do not confuse entry term THYMINS with THYMINE
Scope Note: Two closely related polypeptides (molecular weight 7,000) isolated from the thymus gland. These hormones induce the differentiation of prothymocytes to thymocytes within the thymus. They also cause a delayed impairment of neuromuscular transmission in vivo and are therefore believed to be the agent responsible for myasthenia gravis.
Entry Term(s): TP-49; Thymin; Thymins; Thymopoietin; Thymopoietin I; Thymopoietin II
