Results from this study1

No result from this study comes from a test of the peptide.

Studies that did not test the peptide alone1

In this study, Thymosin beta-4 (human) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. These results are not evidence about taking Thymosin beta-4 (human).

  1. 01LabNot a test of Thymosin beta-4 (human) aloneIn vitro (cells)Mechanism

    In endothelial cells, mechanistic studies identified Tβ4 as a CCN5 interacting protein, and EC-CCN5 promoted injury repair through the Tβ4 cleavage product Ac-SDKP.

    In plain wordsIn endothelial cells, thymosin beta‑4 was found to bind the protein CCN5. Thymosin beta‑4 was not given as a treatment.

    Summary
    Mechanistic studies identified thymosin β4 (Tβ4) as a CCN5 interacting protein in ECs and EC-CCN5 promoted injury repair through Tβ4 cleavage product Ac-SDKP.

    In this study, Thymosin beta-4 (human) was a lab tool or a carrier, part of a mix, or the subject of a lab method. This result is not evidence about taking Thymosin beta-4 (human).
