Product information

TB 500, clearly explained.

A short peptide fragment related to thymosin beta 4 and explored in early tissue-repair research.

Overview

TB-500 usually refers to a small fragment of the much larger thymosin beta 4 peptide. Studies of the full peptide—especially topical eye studies—cannot be treated as proof for this fragment or another delivery method.

TB-500 commonly refers to the LKKTETQ fragment associated with thymosin beta 4. Full-length thymosin beta 4 is a 43-amino-acid peptide; the fragment and parent peptide must not be treated as the same molecular entity.

Keep the context attached

Check what was studied, what researchers observed, and the limitation attached to each finding.

Question 01

Actin and cell migration

Laboratory research on thymosin beta 4 examines actin sequestration, cell movement and tissue-response pathways.

Evidence so far: Mechanistic evidence
Question 02

Topical ophthalmic research

A phase 2 dry-eye study tested full-length thymosin beta 4 solution and did not meet its two primary endpoints.

Evidence so far: Formulation-specific human trial
Question 03

TB-500 fragment

FDA reports no identified human exposure data for drug products containing the LKKTETQ fragment.

Evidence so far: Direct human evidence gap

Proposed mechanism

How researchers are investigating the mechanism.

Thymosin beta 4 binds actin and has been studied in cell migration and repair-related pathways. Even where the parent peptide shows biological activity, molecular identity, formulation and route determine whether a study is relevant to TB-500.

Evidence gaps

What remains unknown?

  • Human pharmacology and safety of the TB-500 fragment are not established.
  • Product naming can obscure whether the tested material is full-length thymosin beta 4 or a fragment.
  • Route, formulation and purity data cannot substitute for molecularly matched clinical evidence.
