TB-500

10 mg

Synthetic fragment of Thymosin Beta-4 studied for actin regulation and tissue repair.

Overview

TB-500 is a synthetic peptide fragment derived from Thymosin Beta-4 (Tβ4), a naturally occurring protein involved in cell migration, differentiation, and tissue regeneration. It is one of the most studied compounds for actin-binding research.

Mechanism of Action

TB-500 binds G-actin, sequestering monomers and regulating actin polymerization dynamics essential to cell motility and angiogenesis. It has been shown in research models to upregulate endothelial cell migration, promote vascular development, and modulate inflammation through interaction with the PINCH-ILK-AKT pathway.
