Description

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

Source Organism

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

Taxomomy

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

Subcellular Localization

Cytoplasm (By similarity).

Developmental Stage

Similarity

Belongs to the thymosin beta family.

Post translational Modification

Function

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