Abstract excerpt
Thymosin beta 4 is a major actin sequestering peptide in vertebrate cells and plays a role in the regulation of actin monomer/polymer ratio. Thymosin beta 9 and thymosin beta met9 are minor variants of thymosin beta 4. The possible function of these peptides has been investigated by comparing the actin binding properties of these beta-thymosins. Thymosin beta 9 and thymosin beta met9 were found to inhibit...
