Thymosin beta 4 acetate

Thymosin beta 4 is a potent regulator of actin polymerization in living cells. Sequence: Ser-Asp-Lys-Pro-Asp-Met-Ala-Glu-Ile-Glu-Lys-Phe-Asp-Lys-Ser-Lys-Leu-Lys-Lys-Thr-Glu-Thr-Gln-Glu-Lys-Asn-Pro-Leu-Pro-Ser-Lys-Glu-Thr-Ile-Glu-Gln-Glu-Lys-Gln-Ala-Gly-Glu-Ser.

As indicated by the significant reduction in the binding offluorescent phalloidin to injected cells, it is clear that (Thymosin beta 4 can induce an extensive depolymerization of actin filaments[1]. Treatment with the exogenous Thymosin beta 4 peptide inhibits the proliferation and migration of activated HSCs and reduces liver fibrosis[2].
