Summary
TMSB4X (thymosin beta 4 X-linked, HGNC:11881) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome Xp22.2, encoding Thymosin beta-4 (P62328). Plays an important role in the organization of the cytoskeleton.
This gene encodes an actin sequestering protein which plays a role in regulation of actin polymerization. The protein is also involved in cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. This gene escapes X inactivation and has a homolog on chromosome Y.

Function. Plays an important role in the organization of the cytoskeleton. Binds to and sequesters actin monomers (G actin) and therefore inhibits actin polymerization. Potent inhibitor of bone marrow derived stem cell differentiation. Acts by inhibits the entry of hematopoietic pluripotent stem cells into the S-phase.
Subunit / interactions. Identified in a complex composed of ACTA1, COBL, GSN AND TMSB4X. Interacts with SERPINB1.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in several hemopoietic cell lines and lymphoid malignant cells. Decreased levels in myeloma cells.
Post-translational modifications. AcSDKP is inactivated by ACE, which removes the dipeptide Lys-Pro from its C-terminus.
Induction. By alpha interferons. Decreased levels in THP-1 cells after treatment with recombinant interferon-lambda.
Similarity. Belongs to the thymosin beta family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 69 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
