TP508 Inhibitor

TP508 is a 23 amino acid synthetic peptide representing residues 508-530 of human prothrombin which is identified as a potential receptor-binding domain based on competition for high-affinity thrombin binding to fibroblasts. TP508 (Chrysalin) is an investigational peptide drug that was developed for use in stimulating repair of dermal and musculoskeletal tissues.

Small volumes of TP508, inhibitor vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
