Pro-Phe-Phe Reference: HY-P2787 Pro-Phe-Phe is the most aggregation-prone tripeptide of natural amino acids. Pro-Phe-Phe forms unique helical-like sheets that mate via aromatic dry interfaces. Pro-Phe-Phe can be used for the design of modular super-helical self-assembling nanostructures.
Human HP1 alpha protein, His tag Reference: GTX68328-pro This gene encodes a highly conserved nonhistone protein, which is a member of the heterochromatin protein family. The protein is enriched in the heterochromatin and associated with centromeres. The protein has a single N-terminal chromodomain which can bind to histone proteins via methylated lysine residues, and a C-terminal chromo shadow-domain (CSD) which is responsible for the homodimerization and interaction with a number of chromatin-associated nonhistone proteins. The encoded product is involved in the formation of functional kinetochore through interaction with essential kinetochore proteins. The gene has a pseudogene located on chromosome 3. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 28]
[Ala9,10, Lys11,12] Glycogen Synthase (1-12) Reference: HY-P3741 [Ala9,10, Lys11,12] Glycogen Synthase (1-12) is a selective substrate for phosphorylation by protein kinase C (PKC). [Ala9,10, Lys11,12] Glycogen Synthase (1-12) can be used to determine the activity of protein kinase C.
Human QPRT protein, His tag Reference: GTX68329-pro This gene encodes a key enzyme in catabolism of quinolinate, an intermediate in the tryptophan-nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide pathway. Quinolinate acts as a most potent endogenous exitotoxin to neurons. Elevation of quinolinate levels in the brain has been linked to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders such as epilepsy, Alzheimers disease, and Huntingtons disease. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 215]
STAD 2 Reference: HY-P2261 STAD 2 is a potent and selective disruptor of PKA-RII, with a Kd of 6.2 nM. STAD 2 disrupts interactions between PKA and AKAP in an isoform-selective manner. STAD 2 displays antimalarial activity through a PKA-independent mechanism.
Human HAAO protein, His tag Reference: GTX68330-pro 3-Hydroxyanthranilate 3,4-dioxygenase is a monomeric cytosolic protein belonging to the family of intramolecular dioxygenases containing nonheme ferrous iron. It is widely distributed in peripheral organs, such as liver and kidney, and is also present in low amounts in the central nervous system. HAAO catalyzes the synthesis of quinolinic acid (QUIN) from 3-hydroxyanthranilic acid. QUIN is an excitotoxin whose toxicity is mediated by its ability to activate glutamate N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors. Increased cerebral levels of QUIN may participate in the pathogenesis of neurologic and inflammatory disorders. HAAO has been suggested to play a role in disorders associated with altered tissue levels of QUIN. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 28]
(R)-Phenylglycine tert-butyl ester hydrochloride Reference: HY-W042009A (R)-Phenylglycine tert-butyl ester hydrochloride is a Glycine (HY-Y0966) derivative.
Ac-D-DGla-LI-Cha-C Reference: HY-P4040 Ac-D-DGla-LI-Cha-C is a potent HCV protease inhibitor peptide. Ac-D-DGla-LI-Cha-C can be used for the research of cancer, autoimmune diseases, fibrotic diseases, inflammatory diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, infectious diseases, lung diseases, heart and vascular diseases and metabolic diseases.
Human RASD2 protein, His tag Reference: GTX68332-pro This gene belongs to the Ras superfamily of small GTPases and is enriched in the striatum. The encoded protein functions as an E3 ligase for attachment of small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO). This protein also binds to mutant huntingtin (mHtt), the protein mutated in Huntington disease (HD). Sumoylation of mHTT by this protein may cause degeneration of the striatum. The protein functions as an activator of mechanistic target of rapamycin 1 (mTOR1), which in turn plays a role in myelination, axon growth and regeneration. Reduced levels of mRNA expressed by this gene were found in HD patients. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 216]
Human SNAPIN protein, His tag Reference: GTX68333-pro The protein encoded by this gene is a coiled-coil-forming protein that associates with the SNARE (soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive fusion protein attachment protein receptor) complex of proteins and the BLOC-1 (biogenesis of lysosome-related organelles) complex. Biochemical studies have identified additional binding partners. As part of the SNARE complex, it is required for vesicle docking and fusion and regulates neurotransmitter release. The BLOC-1 complex is required for the biogenesis of specialized organelles such as melanosomes and platelet dense granules. Mutations in gene products that form the BLOC-1 complex have been identified in mouse strains that are models of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 212]
