[edit] Description

Thymosin beta.

[edit] Source Organism

Danio rerio (Zebrafish) (Brachydanio rerio).

[edit] Taxomomy

Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Actinopterygii; Neopterygii; Teleostei; Ostariophysi; Cypriniformes;Cyprinidae; Danio.

[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
