Human TMSB15A wild-type allele is located within Xq21.33-q22.3 and is approximately 3 kb in length. This allele, which encodes thymosin beta-15A protein, is involved in binding to and the modulation of polymerization of actin. The expression of this gene may be directly correlated with the metastatic potential of a neoplastic disease or with prostate tumor Gleason scoring.
