Thymosin-b4 Native Protein | TMSB4X native protein
Thymosin-b4
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Introduction: Thymosin is a hormone secreted from the thymus. Its primary function is to stimulate the production of T cells, which are an important part of the immune system. Thymosin also assists in the development of B cells to plasma cells to produce antibodies. The predominant form of thymosin, thymosin b4, is a member of a highly conserved family of actin monomer-sequestering proteins. b-thymosins are the primary regulators of unpolymerized actin, and are essential for maintaining the small cytoplasmic pool of free G-actin monomers required for rapid filament elongation and allowing for the flux of monomers between the thymosin-bound pool and F-actin.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes an actin sequestering protein which plays a role in regulation of actin polymerization. The protein is also involved in cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. This gene escapes X inactivation and has a homolog on chromosome Y. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
TMSB4X: Plays an important role in the organization of the cytoskeleton. Binds to and sequesters actin monomers (G actin) and therefore inhibits actin polymerization. Belongs to the thymosin beta family.
Protein type: Cytoskeletal; Motility/polarity/chemotaxis
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: Xq21.3-q22
Cellular Component: cytoskeleton; extracellular region
Molecular Function: actin monomer binding; protein binding
Biological Process: platelet activation; platelet degranulation; sequestering of actin monomers; actin filament organization; blood coagulation

Product Notes
The TMSB4X tmsb4x (Catalog #AAA142668) is a Native Protein and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The amino acid sequence is listed below: Thymosin b4 has an a.a. sequence of Ac-Ser-Asp -Lys-Pro-A sp-Met-Ala -Glu-Ile-G lu-Lys-Phe -Asp-Lys-S er-Lys-Leu -Lys-Lys-T hr-Glu-Thr -Gln-Glu-L ys-Asn-Pro -Leu-Pro-S er-Lys-Glu -Thr-Ile-G lu-Gln-Glu -Lys-Gln-A la-Gly-Glu -Ser-OH. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Thymosin-b4, Native Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
