Structure of the bovine β9-thymosin polypeptide based on the PDB 1HJ0 coordinates.
Thymosins are small proteins present in many animal tissues. They are named thymosins because they were originally isolated from the thymus, but most are now known to be present in many other tissues.[1] Thymosins have diverse biological activities, and two in particular, thymosins α1 and β4, have potentially important uses in medicine, some of which have already progressed from the laboratory to the clinic. In relation to diseases, thymosins have been categorized as biological response modifiers.[2] Thymosins are important for proper T-cell development and differentiation.[3]
