homolog to TMSB4Y

Homologene

FAMILY

thymosin beta family

CATEGORY

regulatory , signaling hormone

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton
	intracellular,nucleus

basic FUNCTION	acting as a potential actin sequestering protein with a regulatory role in actin polymerization
	inhibiting the migration of macrophages
	stimulating the secretion of hypothalamic luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone
	promoting myocardial and endothelial cell migration in the embryonic heart, cardiomyocytes survival and repair
	required for the metastasis of melanoma cells
	TMSB10 and TMSB4X have been implicated in sequestration of monomeric (G-) actin
	playing an important role in the organization of the cytoskeleton
	actin monomer-binding protein implicated in cell migration and angiogenesis
	may play a role in diabetic retinal neovascularization
	involved in actin sequestering and the promotion of cell migration
	prevents oxidative stress by targeting antioxidant and anti-apoptotic genes in cardiac fibroblasts
	involved in endothelial cell migration, angiogenesis, corneal wound healing, and stem cell differentiation
	plays a key role in odontoblastic differentiation of human dental pulp cells (HDPCs)
	closely related to the initiation and development of the tooth germ
	is a novel regulator for primary cilia formation by NPHP3

CELLULAR PROCESS	cell life, differentiation
	cell life, proliferation/growth
	cell migration & motility

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

immunity/defense

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

acetylation

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	interacting with LIMS1 and ILK
	binding actin monomers (G actin)
	interacts with the cytoplasmic domain of stabilin-2 (required for stabilin-2-mediated phagocytosis)
	is a direct target of HAND1 (TMSB4X is an effector of HAND1-mediated vascular development)
	is an important MKL1 regulator that controls the G-actin-MKL1 interaction
	primary cilia formation could be regulated by TMSB4X through its interaction with NPHP3 and/or the control of NPHP3 expression
