Rabbit Anti-Thymosin beta 4/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Proteins in the thymosin beta family are highly conserved polar peptides that bind monomeric Actin and thereby inhibit Actin polymerization. These proteins act as the main intracellular G-Actin sequestering peptides. The most abundant thymosin beta family member in mammalian cells and tissues is thymosin beta-4 (Tbeta-4), also designated Seraspenide. T beta-4 participates in several cellular events including cancerogenesis, apoptosis, angiogenesis, blood coagulation and would healing. Specifically, T beta-4 promotes cell migration and adhesion, accelerates wound healing and reduces inflammation, and becomes upregulated in a wide variety of human carcinomas. Due to the effects of T beta-4 in these events, it may become a protein of significant biological and pharmaceutical relevance.
Function:
Plays an important role in the organization of the cytoskeleton. Binds to and sequesters actin monomers (G actin) and therefore inhibits actin polymerization.
Seraspenide inhibits the entry of hematopoietic pluripotent stem cells into the S-phase.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton.
Tissue Specificity:
Originally found in thymus but it is widely distributed in many tissues.
Similarity:
Belongs to the thymosin beta family.
