Thymosin Beta-4, Y-Chromosomal

Preferred Label : Thymosin Beta-4, Y-Chromosomal;

NCIt synonyms : TMSB4Y; Thymosin Beta-4, Y Isoform;

NCIt definition : Thymosin beta-4, Y-chromosomal (44 aa, 5 kDa) is encoded by the human TMSB4Y gene. This protein is involved in the inhibition of actin polymerization.;

NCIt note : Since amino acids 2-5 of thymosin beta-4, Y-chromosomal is identical to that of thymosin beta-4., thymosin beta-4, Y-chromosomal may be cleaved to release a biologically active tetrapeptides called hematopoietic system regulatory peptide, for which the synthetic acetylated peptide is called seraspenide. Seraspenide causes G1 phase arrest for hematopoietic stem cells.; Thymosin beta-4 and thymosin beta-4, Y-chromosomal are identical except for amino acid positions 6, 30 and 39.;
