Beyond its cytoskeletal effects, TB-500 forms functional complexes with PINCH (particularly interesting new cysteine-histidine-rich protein) and integrin-linked kinase (ILK), activating the survival kinase Akt while inhibiting TNF--induced NF-B activation through blocking of RelA/p65 translocation

To reconstitute a peptide vial: (1) Allow the vial to reach room temperature, (2) Sterilize the rubber stopper with an alcohol prep pad, (3) Draw the calculated amount of bacteriostatic water into a sterile syringe, (4) Slowly inject the bacteriostatic water down the inside wall of the vial to avoid foaming, (5) Gently roll the vial to dissolvenever shake, (6) Verify the solution is clear with no visible particles, and (7) Store refrigerated at 2-8C protected from light
Research observations often focus on how cells respond to stress, injury signals, and structural disruption when this peptide is present
