About This Compound
TB-500
TB-500 10mg — Research Overview
TB-500 is a synthetic peptide derived from the active region of Thymosin Beta-4 (Tβ4), a protein expressed in virtually all human and animal cells. The key active sequence Ac-LKKTETQ is responsible for Tβ4 actin-binding activity and is studied for its roles in cell migration, tissue regeneration, angiogenesis, and anti-inflammatory signaling.
Neogenesis Bio Labs supplies TB-500 as a lyophilized peptide at ≥99% purity, verified by third-party HPLC and mass spectrometry analysis.
What Researchers Study TB-500 For
- Cell Migration and Proliferation — actin-binding pathway, cytoskeletal regulation, and directed cell movement studies
- Tissue Regeneration — wound healing, muscle, tendon, and cardiac tissue repair pathway research
- Angiogenesis — new blood vessel formation, VEGF pathway interaction, and endothelial cell migration studies
- Anti-Inflammatory Research — cytokine modulation and inflammation resolution pathway studies
- Cardiac Repair — cardiomyocyte protection, cardiac progenitor cell activation, and myocardial repair research models
- Systemic Repair Signaling — non-local tissue repair signaling models across multiple tissue types
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the relationship between TB-500 and Thymosin Beta-4?
Thymosin Beta-4 is a 43-amino acid protein. TB-500 corresponds to the central active fragment containing the actin-binding sequence Ac-LKKTETQ. This region is responsible for most of the observed biological activity in cell migration and repair research.
How does TB-500 differ from BPC-157 in research models?
BPC-157 is primarily studied for local tissue repair and angiogenesis at the site of injury with strong gastroprotective backing. TB-500 is associated with broader, systemic cell migration and repair signaling through actin modulation. The two are frequently co-studied as complementary mechanisms.
What reconstitution approach is standard?
Lyophilized TB-500 is typically reconstituted with bacteriostatic water. Store at or below 4°C and use within 28 days. Store lyophilized powder at 2-8°C prior to reconstitution.
Is a Certificate of Analysis included?
Yes. Every vial ships with a third-party COA confirming compound identity, purity (≥99% HPLC), and peptide integrity.
