[edit] Description

Thymosin beta-4 (T beta-4) [Contains: Hematopoietic system regulatorypeptide (Seraspenide)].

[edit] Source Organism

Chinchilla lanigera (Long-tailed chinchilla) (Chinchilla villidera).

[edit] Taxomomy

Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia;Hystricognathi; Chinchillidae; Chinchilla.

[edit] Subcellular Localization

Cytoplasm (By similarity).

[edit] Developmental Stage

[edit] Similarity

Belongs to the thymosin beta family.

[edit] Post translational Modification

[edit] Function

Plays an important role in the organization of the cytoskeleton. Binds to and sequesters actin monomers (G actin) and therefore inhibits actin polymerization.
