• Background: Thymosins are small proteins isolated from the thymus, but most are now known to be also present in many other tissues. Thymosins have diverse biological activities, and two in particular, thymosins α1 and β4, have potentially important uses in medicine. Thymosin α-1 is a 28-amino acids peptide fragment derived from prothymosin alpha, a protein that in humans is encoded by the PTMA gene and it is believed to be a major component of Thymosin Fraction 5 responsible for the activity of that preparation in restoring immune function in animals lacking thymus glands. Thymosin β-4 is a 43-amino acids protein that in humans is encoded by the TMSB4X gene. It is a major cellular constituent in many tissues. Its intracellular concentration may reach as high as 0.5 mM. Following Thymosin α1, β4 was the second of the biologically active peptides from Thymosin Fraction 5 to be completely sequenced and synthesized. This antibody was generated by immunization of rabbits with Thymosin β-4 coupled to a carrier protein.
