Function
Plays an important role in the organization of the cytoskeleton (PubMed:10848969, PubMed:1999398). Binds to and sequesters actin monomers (G actin) and therefore inhibits actin polymerization (PubMed:10848969, PubMed:1999398). Hemoregulatory peptide AcSDKP. Potent inhibitor of bone marrow derived stem cell differentiation (PubMed:7694679). Acts by inhibits the entry of hematopoietic pluripotent stem cells into the S-phase (By similarity).

- Activity summary
Thymosin beta 4 is a small actin-binding peptide known for its role in the regulation of actin polymerization and depolymerization. Sometimes called Tβ4 or beta thymosin this peptide has a mass of approximately 5 kDa. It is widely expressed in various tissues especially in wound sites circulatory system and the central nervous system. The peptide consists of 43 amino acids and its structure allows it to sequester actin monomers influencing the cytoskeleton dynamics within cells.
- Biological function summary
Thymosin beta 4 influences several cellular processes including cell migration proliferation and differentiation. It is not part of a large complex but directly interacts with actin to modulate its behavior. Through its regulation of actin filament formation it plays a significant role in wound healing tissue regeneration and inflammatory responses. Furthermore it contributes to the migration of endothelial cells highlighting its importance in angiogenesis.
- Pathways
Thymosin beta 4 contributes significantly to cell motility and the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) pathway. It interacts with the protein profilin in the regulation of actin dynamics impacting cellular processes like cell movement and angiogenesis. By influencing these pathways Thymosin beta 4 aids in the body's repair mechanisms providing cellular structural support under varying physiological conditions.
- Associated diseases and disorders
Thymosin beta 4 is associated with cardiovascular diseases and fibrotic disorders. It has a potential protective effect in ischemic heart disease where it contributes to heart repair by modulating actin and promoting endothelial cell migration. In fibrosis its regulatory effects on actin filaments may impact the excessive tissue scarring. Thymosin beta 4 also interacts with proteins like beta-adrenoreceptors during cardiovascular stress responses demonstrating its multi-faceted role in health and disease.
