Research peptide
TB-500
Thymosin Beta-4 fragment (Ac-LKKTETQ) research compound supplied as a 10mg lyophilised vial.
No reconstitution or separate pen hardware needed for laboratory handling.
Also available as: TB-500 Pen Vial — Pre-Reconstituted
Overview
TB-500 is the synthetic, N-acetylated heptapeptide fragment Ac-LKKTETQ, corresponding to the actin-binding region (residues 17-23) of the naturally occurring protein Thymosin Beta-4. It is supplied as a lyophilised powder for laboratory research.
In research settings the fragment is studied in vitro and in animal models for actin regulation, cell migration, angiogenesis and inflammation-related signalling across multiple tissue types. It is supplied as a research reference material only and is not for human or animal consumption.
Research areas
- Actin-binding and actin-sequestering activity, studied in vitro
- Cell migration and angiogenesis, examined in preclinical models
- Pro-inflammatory cytokine signalling in tissue-research models
- Comparative studies alongside other tissue-research peptides
