TB-500 Ej ur
TB-500 is a synthetic peptide corresponding to the full 43-amino-acid sequence of Thymosin Beta-4 (Tβ4). The active region of Tβ4 is the actin-binding domain at amino acids 17-23 (LKKTETQ) (Tβ4), a 43-amino-acid naturally occurring peptide first isolated from the thymus gland. Thymosin Beta-4 is the principal G-actin sequestering peptide in mammalian cells, present in all cell types except red blood cells.Laboratory research has investigated TB-500's role in actin polymerization regulation, cell migration and motility, and extracellular matrix remodeling. In-vitro studies have examined its effects on endothelial cell migration, tube formation in angiogenesis assays, and keratinocyte migration in wound closure models. Research has also explored its interaction with the Wnt signaling pathway, its effects on metalloproteinase (MMP) expression, and its role in cardiac progenitor cell differentiation models.Molecular Weight: 4963.50 g/mol. Active Region: LKKTETQ (residues 17-23 of Tβ4). Appearance: White lyophilized powder. Solubility: Soluble in water. Storage: -20°C, lyophilized, sealed and protected from light.
