Actin
Also known as: actin filament · cytoskeleton · F-actin
The protein scaffold that lets cells move, divide and repair — the target of Thymosin Beta-4 / TB-500 research.
Actin is one of the most abundant proteins in cells, forming the dynamic filaments of the cytoskeleton that let cells hold shape, move, divide and heal wounds.
Regulation of actin is the core mechanism behind Thymosin Beta-4 and its synthetic fragment TB-500: by influencing actin assembly they are studied for cell migration and tissue repair.
