Human VEGF 165 protein, His tag Reference: GTX67937-pro This gene is a member of the PDGF/VEGF growth factor family. It encodes a heparin-binding protein, which exists as a disulfide-linked homodimer. This growth factor induces proliferation and migration of vascular endothelial cells, and is essential for both physiological and pathological angiogenesis. Disruption of this gene in mice resulted in abnormal embryonic blood vessel formation. This gene is upregulated in many known tumors and its expression is correlated with tumor stage and progression. Elevated levels of this protein are found in patients with POEMS syndrome, also known as Crow-Fukase syndrome. Allelic variants of this gene have been associated with microvascular complications of diabetes 1 (MVCD1) and atherosclerosis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. There is also evidence for alternative translation initiation from upstream non-AUG (CUG) codons resulting in additional isoforms. A recent study showed that a C-terminally extended isoform is produced by use of an alternative in-frame translation termination codon via a stop codon readthrough mechanism, and that this isoform is antiangiogenic. Expression of some isoforms derived from the AUG start codon is regulated by a small upstream open reading frame, which is located within an internal ribosome entry site.

Exendin-4 acetate Reference: HY-13443A Exendin-4 acetate (Exenatide acetate), a 39 amino acid peptide, is a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist with an IC50 of 3.22 nM.
Human Visinin-like 1 protein Reference: GTX67938-pro This gene is a member of the visinin/recoverin subfamily of neuronal calcium sensor proteins. The encoded protein is strongly expressed in granule cells of the cerebellum where it associates with membranes in a calcium-dependent manner and modulates intracellular signaling pathways of the central nervous system by directly or indirectly regulating the activity of adenylyl cyclase. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed, but their full-length nature has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 28]
Ala-Ala-Ala-Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Leu Reference: HY-P3559 Ala-Ala-Ala-Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Leu is a β-lipotropin peptide. Ala-Ala-Ala-Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe-Leu is a polypeptide of 8 amino acids.
Human Tryptophanyl tRNA synthetase protein, His tag Reference: GTX67939-pro Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases catalyze the aminoacylation of tRNA by their cognate amino acid. Because of their central role in linking amino acids with nucleotide triplets contained in tRNAs, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases are thought to be among the first proteins that appeared in evolution. Two forms of tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase exist, a cytoplasmic form, named WARS, and a mitochondrial form, named WARS2. Tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase (WARS) catalyzes the aminoacylation of tRNA(trp) with tryptophan and is induced by interferon. Tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase belongs to the class I tRNA synthetase family. Four transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 28]
JAK2/TYK2-IN-1 Reference: HY-143884 JAK2/TYK2-IN-2 is a potent and selective TYK2 inhibitor with IC50 values of 9 and 157 nM for TYK2 and JAK2, respectively. JAK2/TYK2-IN-2 has anti-inflammatory activity.
Human eIF4H protein, His tag Reference: GTX67940-pro This gene encodes one of the translation initiation factors, which functions to stimulate the initiation of protein synthesis at the level of mRNA utilization. This gene is deleted in Williams syndrome, a multisystem developmental disorder caused by the deletion of contiguous genes at 7q11.23. Alternative splicing of this gene generates 2 transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 28]
2-Benzamido-4-(methylthio)butanoic acid Reference: HY-W128408 2-Benzamido-4-(methylthio)butanoic acid is a Methionine (HY-13694) derivative.
Human XPA protein, His tag Reference: GTX67941-pro This gene encodes a zinc finger protein plays a central role in nucleotide excision repair (NER), a specialized type of DNA repair. NER is responsible for repair of UV radiation-induced photoproducts and DNA adducts induced by chemical carcinogens and chemotherapeutic drugs. The encoded protein interacts with DNA and several NER proteins, acting as a scaffold to assemble the NER incision complex at sites of DNA damage. Mutations in this gene cause Xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group A (XP-A), an autosomal recessive skin disorder featuring hypersensitivity to sunlight and increased risk for skin cancer.

Mast Cell Degranulating Peptide HR-2 Reference: HY-P1807 Mast Cell Degranulating Peptide HR-2, a 14-membered linear peptide isolated from the venom of the giant hornet Vespa orientalis, is capable of degranulating mast cells and thus initiating histamine release.
Human XRCC3 protein, His tag Reference: GTX67942-pro This gene encodes a member of the RecA/Rad51-related protein family that participates in homologous recombination to maintain chromosome stability and repair DNA damage. This gene functionally complements Chinese hamster irs1SF, a repair-deficient mutant that exhibits hypersensitivity to a number of different DNA-damaging agents and is chromosomally unstable. A rare microsatellite polymorphism in this gene is associated with cancer in patients of varying radiosensitivity. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 28]
