Description

The acetylated seven-residue fragment of thymosin beta-4 (Ac-LKKTETQ), corresponding to the actin-binding region of that protein. It is not the full-length 43-residue protein, which is a separate molecule with a mass near 4963 Da; a correct TB-500 lot reports a mass close to 889 Da. Supplied as a lyophilised powder against a lot-specific certificate of analysis, for laboratory research use only.

TB-500 is the acetylated seven-residue fragment of thymosin beta-4, not the full-length 43-residue protein (which has its own CAS, 77591-33-4, and a mass near 4963 Da). A correct TB-500 certificate of analysis shows a mass close to 889 Da. Some suppliers also confuse TB-500 with Ac-SDKP, an unrelated tetrapeptide - Delta does not.

Every lot ships against its own certificate of analysis. Search by lot number on the certificates of analysis page, or check the paperwork before you order.

ReconstitutionBacteriostatic water or sterile water.
Storage, lyophilised-20 °C, sealed and desiccated, protected from light.
Storage, reconstituted2-8 °C, protected from light. Use within 2-4 weeks, or freeze single-use aliquots at -20 °C for longer holds.
ShippingShipped at ambient temperature. Lyophilised material tolerates transit without a cold chain; move it to the freezer on arrival.

Working notes

  • Let a vial come to room temperature before opening it. Opening a cold vial draws in moist air, and lyophilised powder takes up water quickly.
  • Add the diluent slowly down the inside wall of the vial rather than directly onto the powder cake, and let it dissolve on its own. Shaking a peptide solution is the fastest way to denature it.
  • Wipe the stopper with alcohol before every draw, and keep solutions out of direct light.
  • Repeated freeze-thaw cycles cost you more purity than time in the fridge does. If a vial will be used over weeks, aliquot it once and freeze the aliquots.
