TB500 5mg

TB500 5mg is a synthetic peptide analogue of thymosin beta-4 (Tβ4), a naturally occurring actin-sequestering protein involved in cell migration, angiogenesis, and tissue repair. This formulation is designed for research and laboratory use, providing a precise quantity of lyophilised peptide for controlled experimental protocols. TB500 has been investigated in preclinical models for its role in promoting cellular migration, wound healing, and vascular repair. Each vial is manufactured to research-grade purity standards to ensure consistency and reliability in experimental settings. Ideal for qualified researchers and institutions studying thymosin beta-4 biology, regenerative pathways, and actin dynamics. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct light. For research purposes only. Not intended for human or veterinary use.
