Thymopentin is an immunostimulant.

It interacts with T cells.cite journal |author=Liu Z, Zheng X, Wang J, Wang E |title=Molecular analysis of thymopentin binding to HLA-DR molecules |journal=PLoS ONE |volume=2 |issue=12 |pages=e1348 |year=2007 |pmid=18159232 |pmc=2137936 |doi=10.1371/journal.pone.0001348 |url=http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0001348]

It is a thymic polypeptide.cite journal |author=Peng Y, Chen Z, Yu W, "et al" |title=Effects of thymic polypeptides on the thymopoiesis of mouse embryonic stem cells |journal=Cell biology international |volume= |issue= |pages= |year=2008 |month=July |pmid=18692582 |doi=10.1016/j.cellbi.2008.07.011 |url=http://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S1065-6995(08)00501-5]
