Product Details
TB500 Peptide (Thymosin β4 Fragment 17–23) — Research Grade Peptide, ≥98% Purity (HPLC)
Synthetic actin-binding peptide. Lyophilized powder. Lot-specific COA included.
TB500 Peptide is a synthetic heptapeptide corresponding to the active region (17LKKTETQ23) of the naturally occurring protein thymosin β4. The sequence is N-terminally acetylated (Ac-LKKTETQ), a modification that distinguishes the synthetic research peptide from the unacetylated fragment found in vivo. The 17LKKTETQ23 segment is the region within thymosin β4 responsible for actin binding, cell migration, and wound healing activity.
The peptide’s primary mechanism involves binding to G-actin, the monomeric building block of actin filaments, thereby preventing its polymerization into F-actin and maintaining the stability of the intracellular G-actin pool. This regulation of actin dynamics is critical for cytoskeleton remodeling, cell migration, and cell differentiation. TB500 Peptide
Supplied as a sterile-filtered, lyophilized powder for in vitro and preclinical research applications. Each lot is independently verified for purity and identity and ships with a Certificate of Analysis.

Note: Suppliers list TB-500 with two distinct CAS numbers and molecular weights because the product is offered both as the full-length thymosin β4 protein and as the 17–23 acetate fragment. Verify the exact form and molecular weight against the Certificate of Analysis supplied with your lot. TB500 Peptide
Research applications
TB-500 is used in laboratory settings to investigate:
-
Actin cytoskeleton dynamics — G-actin binding and its effects on actin polymerization, cell migration, and cytoskeletal remodeling in cell culture models
-
Wound healing and tissue repair — keratinocyte migration, collagen deposition, and endothelial cell differentiation in dermal tissue models
-
Anti-fibrotic signaling — inhibition of the Akt signaling pathway and its downstream effects on fibrotic markers in vitro
-
Cell migration assays — promotion of cell migration at 15–25 μg/mL over 48 hours in PAM212 cell lines
-
Corneal repair research — enzyme-responsive peptide hydrogels incorporating TB500 for spatiotemporal repair of corneal injury
-
Cardiovascular biomarker studies — Phase 1/2 evaluation of TB-500 (thymosin β4 17–23 fragment) in adults with stable atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD)
Handling and storage
Reconstitute under aseptic conditions using sterile water. TB-500 is soluble in water at ≥2 mg/mL. Aliquot immediately after reconstitution to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Lyophilized powder is stable for up to 2 years at −80 °C or 1 year at −20 °C under sealed, desiccated, nitrogen-atmosphere conditions. Reconstituted solutions should be stored at −80 °C for longer-term use or −20 °C for short-term use. TB500 Peptide
