Description
TB-500 Research Peptide (Thymosin Beta-4)
TB-500 Research Peptide is a synthetic peptide associated with Thymosin Beta-4 research. It provides researchers with a defined peptide material for controlled laboratory investigations involving molecular characterization, peptide signaling and structure-function analysis.
An important scientific distinction is that TB-500 and full-length Thymosin Beta-4 should not automatically be treated as identical materials. PubChem identifies TB-500 as the acetylated seven-amino-acid sequence Ac-LKKTETQ-OH, while full-length human Thymosin Beta-4 is a much larger 43-amino-acid peptide.
For this reason, the LV product page should clearly identify the exact peptide sequence and chemical form being supplied.
What Is TB-500?
TB-500 Research Peptide is commonly associated with research involving Thymosin Beta-4-derived peptide sequences.
The TB-500 structure listed in PubChem is:
Ac-Leu-Lys-Lys-Thr-Glu-Thr-Gln-OH
or, using one-letter amino-acid notation:
Ac-LKKTETQ-OH.
This is distinct from full-length Thymosin Beta-4, which PubChem identifies as a substantially larger peptide containing 43 amino acids.
That distinction is important for accurate product identification, analytical testing and SEO content.
TB-500 Chemical Information
| Property | Information |
|---|---|
| Product Name | TB-500 |
| Common Research Name | TB-500 |
| Peptide Type | Synthetic peptide |
| Sequence | Ac-LKKTETQ-OH |
| Length | 7 amino-acid residues |
| Molecular Formula | C₃₈H₆₈N₁₀O₁₄ |
| Molecular Weight | 889.0 g/mol |
| CAS Number | 885340-08-9 |
| Research Classification | For Research Use Only |
PubChem currently lists TB-500 with molecular formula C₃₈H₆₈N₁₀O₁₄ and molecular weight 889.0 g/mol, with the sequence represented as Ac-LKKTETQ-OH.
TB-500 Research Peptide vs. Thymosin Beta-4
This distinction deserves its own section on the product page.
TB-500:
Ac-LKKTETQ-OH
Full-length Thymosin Beta-4:
A 43-amino-acid peptide with the sequence beginning Ac-Ser-Asp-Lys-Pro-Asp-Met… and a molecular weight of approximately 4963 g/mol.
Therefore, the product page should not present TB-500 as simply being the full-length Thymosin Beta-4 molecule.
