Results from this study2

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone2

In this study, Thymosin beta-4 (human) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking Thymosin beta-4 (human).

    Summary
    By hybridization of the thymosin-beta 4/6-26 cDNA to the DNA of a panel of human-rodent somatic cell hybrids, we found that at least seven genes homologous to this cDNA are present in the human genome. We localized these genes, some of which might be pseudogenes, to seven distinct chromosomes, namel…

    Summary
    Its sequence was found to be identical to that of the human thymosin-beta 4 cDNA, which encodes a protein present in most cell types, but whose function is not clear at present.

    In this study, Thymosin beta-4 (human) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking Thymosin beta-4 (human).
