UniProt functional annotation for P62328

UniProt codes: P62328, P01253.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Plays an important role in the organization of the cytoskeleton (By similarity). Binds to and sequesters actin monomers (G actin) and therefore inhibits actin polymerization. {ECO:0000250}.
 
Function: Seraspenide inhibits the entry of hematopoietic pluripotent stem cells into the S-phase. {ECO:0000250}.
 
Subunit: Interacts with SERPINB1 (By similarity). Identified in a complex composed of ACTA1, COBL, GSN AND TMSB4X. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10848969, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1999398, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23009842}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton.
Tissue specificity: Expressed in several hemopoietic cell lines and lymphoid malignant cells. Decreased levels in myeloma cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:3500230}.
Induction: By alpha interferons. Decreased levels in THP-1 cells after treatment with recombinant interferon-lambda. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:3500230, ECO:0000269|PubMed:6548414}.
Similarity: Belongs to the thymosin beta family. {ECO:0000305}.
