Research Peptide Comparison
HCG and TB-500 represent two well-characterised research compounds that have each generated substantial preclinical literature, despite having no mechanistic overlap. HCG is a glycoprotein gonadotropin that activates LHCGR to drive steroidogenic cascades within gonadal tissue. TB-500, a synthetic analogue of the ubiquitous actin-regulatory peptide Thymosin Beta-4, is studied for its roles in actin dynamics, cellular migration, and angiogenic processes.
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is a placental glycoprotein hormone that binds the luteinising hormone (LH) receptor, driving downstream steroidogenic signalling in gonadal tissue. Its near-identical receptor affinity to endogenous LH makes it a standard probe in hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis investigation, reproductive endocrinology, and Leydig and theca cell stimulation studies.
Compared to TB-500 5mg, HCG 5000iu is priced at £23.99 with 99%+ verified purity. Its CAS registry number is 9002-61-3. It has a molecular weight of 36.7 kDa.
HCG 5000iu is available in single size and ships with a full Certificate of Analysis from Janoshik Analytical. It is priced £5.00 higher than TB-500 5mg.
TB-500 is a synthetic fragment of Thymosin Beta-4, a naturally occurring actin-sequestering peptide implicated in cellular migration, cytoskeletal remodelling and tissue regeneration. Research interest focuses on its capacity to upregulate actin polymerisation, modulate inflammatory cytokine profiles and influence anti-fibrotic signalling in cardiac, dermal and musculoskeletal models.
Compared to HCG 5000iu, TB-500 5mg is priced at £18.99 with 99%+ verified purity. Its CAS registry number is 77591-33-4. It has a molecular weight of 4963.50 g/mol.
TB-500 5mg is available in single size and ships with a full Certificate of Analysis from Janoshik Analytical. At £5.00 less than HCG 5000iu, it is the more affordable option in this comparison.
