Actin monomer sequestering
The identified molecular function of thymosin β4 is sequestration of G-actin. The dissociation constant of the complex sits in the micromolar range, which allows fast binding and release, and β-thymosins are described as the main intracellular G-actin-sequestering peptides in most cells. This is the one activity with an explanation grounded in a defined molecular interaction.
