TB-500

Overview

TB-500 is a synthetic peptide modelled on the active region of thymosin beta-4, a protein present in almost every human cell. Thymosin beta-4 binds actin, the protein that forms the cell skeleton, and helps regulate how cells move and organise.

In research it is used to study cell migration, new blood-vessel growth and the repair of damaged tissue, mainly in animal and cell models.

Research areas

• Cell migration and actin regulation
• Wound, skin and corneal repair models
• Heart and muscle tissue repair after injury
• Inflammation and fibrosis
