Talk:Thymosin beta

Plural versus singular
This article is about a protein family, not a single protein, and it would be much more appropriately titled "beta thymosins" Also it is misleading to describe beta thymosin as "a form of thymosin" since this implies existence of a single substance "thymosin". For historic reasons (and as described) the name "thymosins" was given to a set of small proteins which happened to be co-isolated but otherwise are both structurally and genetically completely unrelated.
