Recombinant Human T Beta-4 protein

Recombinant Human T Beta-4 protein

• Background: Thymosin Beta 4 is a naturally occurring peptide encoded by the TMSB4X gene located on Chr. X in humans. It is found in high concentrations in blood platelets, wound fluid and other tissues in the body. Tβ-4 is a major actin regulating peptide and the primary function is to stimulate the productions of T cells, which plays important part of the immune system. The thymosin beta-4 peptide, if used after a heart attack, might reactivate cardiac progenitor cells to repair damaged heart tissue.
