| HMRbase accession number | 11057 |
| Swiss-prot Accession number | P62327 (Sequence in FASTA format) |
| Description | Thymosin beta-4 (T beta-4) [Contains: Hematopoietic system regulatorypeptide (Seraspenide)]. |
| Source organism | Equus caballus (Horse) |
| Taxonomical Classification | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi;Mammalia; Eutheria; Laurasiatheria; Perissodactyla; Equidae; Equus. |
| Subcellular location | Cytoplasm |
| Developmental Stage | N/A |
| Similarity | Belongs to the thymosin beta family. |
| Tissue Specificity | N/A |
