Mechanism of Action
TB-500 mimics the bioactive region of thymosin β4, interacting with actin monomers to regulate the cytoskeleton1. It promotes cell migration, angiogenesis, and wound re-epithelialization. Research suggests TB-500’s effects may also be mediated through its metabolite Ac-LKKTE2,3.
Biological Activity
Demonstrates potent pro-regenerative, pro-angiogenic, and anti-inflammatory properties. TB-500 enhances keratinocyte and fibroblast migration, accelerates dermal healing, and supports vascularization in injured tissues without cytotoxicity1-4.
Storage
- Store lyophilized powder at –20°C. Reconstituted solutions should be stored at 2–8°C and used within 30 days.
Drug Categories
Peptide therapeutic, wound healing agent, angiogenesis modulator
Additional Notes
- Under investigation for use in cardiac, corneal, and dermal tissue repair.
- Subject to anti-doping regulations due to performance-enhancing properties.

Detailed Product Description
TB-500 is a synthetic peptide designed to replicate the wound healing and regenerative functions of thymosin β4. Composed of seven amino acids, TB-500 corresponds to the bioactive region (LKKTETQ) of thymosin β4, with an N-terminal acetylation to improve stability and bioavailability. Studies suggest that TB-500 plays a key role in modulating actin polymerization, thereby supporting cytoskeletal reorganization during tissue repair. It has shown effectiveness in models of corneal, dermal, and cardiac injuries1,3,4. In vitro and in vivo research has demonstrated that TB-500 and its metabolites are non-cytotoxic, with the Ac-LKKTE metabolite particularly enhancing fibroblast-driven wound closure. TB-500 continues to be of interest in regenerative medicine research, despite its inclusion on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s prohibited list.
Research Highlights
Promotes dermal and tendon healing via fibroblast recruitment3
Promotes blood vessel formation, aiding ischemic tissue recovery4
Modulates cytoskeletal remodeling critical for cell migration and repair1
Demonstrated safety in cellular assays across multiple tissues.
2
Ac-LKKTE, a TB-500 metabolite, exhibits superior activity in promoting wound closure compared to the parent compound3.
