 | Standard Curve for Rat Thymosin beta-4 PharmaGenie ELISA Kit (SBES0163) |
Thymosin beta-4 is a 43 amino acids protein that is encoded by the TMSB4X gene. It plays a role in regulation of actin polymerization. Thymosin beta-4 binds to and sequesters actin monomers (G actin) and therefore inhibits actin polymerization. It is also involved in cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. It has been studied in a number of clinical trials.
