We detected more than 100 monoisotopic masses corresponding to thymosin β4 and truncated forms of ubiquitin, prothymosin α, thymosin β4, and thymosin β9.
1 context sentence(design, population, supporting numbers)
We reevaluated a lyophilized sample of thymosin fraction 5, stored for 37 years at room temperature, by high-resolution mass spectrometry in terms of stability and yet uncharacterized polypeptides that could be biological important substances.
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).
