This protein is found in the conditioned medium of a rat thymic epithelial cell line. It is chemotactic (see also: Chemotaxis) for rat bone marrow hematopoietic precursors (Thy1 immature lymphoid cells devoid of differentiation markers of T-cells, B-cells, and myeloid cells) (see also: hematopoiesis) (Deugnier et al, 1989).
Dargemont et al (1989) have shown that Thymotaxin is identical with the serum protein Beta-2-Microglobulin.
