Abstract:
Thymosin beta4 - an endogenously occurring 43 amino acid peptide - has recently been shown to possess cardioprotective properties in the setting of acute myocardial infarction. This review focuses on the reported mechanisms of action through which Thymosin beta4 might accomplish this effect and the clinical prospects for its use as a therapeutic agent.
