Bremelanotide (PT-141) is an analogue of α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH). Bremelanotide activates the mPOA and other hypothalamic and limbic regions of the brain involved in sexual behavior. Bremelanotide can be used for researching hypoactive sexual desire disorders.

Members of the CUT family of copper transporters are associated with copper homeostasis and are involved in the uptake, storage, delivery, and efflux of copper (Gupta et al., 1995 [PubMed 763587]; Li et al., 25 [PubMed 16182249]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 28]

TAT-NSF222scr Fusion Polypeptide, scrambled is a control peptide of TAT-NSF700 Fusion Peptide (HY-P4113). TAT-NSF222scr Fusion Polypeptide, scrambled is consisted of the intact TAT domain followed by the amino acid residues of NSF 222-243 in a scrambled order.

The amino acid selenocysteine is the only amino acid that does not have its own tRNA synthetase. Instead, this amino acid is synthesized on its cognate tRNA in a three step process. The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the third step in the process, the conversion of O-phosphoseryl-tRNA(Sec) to selenocysteinyl-tRNA(Sec).[provided by RefSeq, Mar 211]

Apelin-36(rat, mouse) is an endogenous orphan G protein-coupled receptor APJ agonist. Apelin-36(rat, mouse) binds to APJ receptors with an IC50 of 5.4 nM, and potently inhibits cAMP production with an EC50 of 0.52 nM. Apelin-36(rat, mouse) blocks entry of some HIV-1 and HIV-2 strains into NP-2/CD4 cells expressing APJ.

This gene encodes a SRC homology 3 domain-containing protein. The encoded protein interacts with the proapoptotic member of the Bcl-2 family, Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) and may be involved in regulating apoptotic signaling pathways. This protein may also be involved in maintaining mitochondrial morphology. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 211]

Mammalian mitochondrial ribosomal proteins are encoded by nuclear genes and help in protein synthesis within the mitochondrion. Mitochondrial ribosomes (mitoribosomes) consist of a small 28S subunit and a large 39S subunit. They have an estimated 75% protein to rRNA composition compared to prokaryotic ribosomes, where this ratio is reversed. Another difference between mammalian mitoribosomes and prokaryotic ribosomes is that the latter contain a 5S rRNA. Among different species, the proteins comprising the mitoribosome differ greatly in sequence, and sometimes in biochemical properties, which prevents easy recognition by sequence homology. This gene encodes a 28S subunit protein that belongs to the ribosomal protein S2 family. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 212]

BOC-D-GLU-OH is a glutamic acid derivative.

Reference: GTX68476-pro

This gene encodes a highly conserved protein that plays an essential role in ribosome biogenesis. The encoded protein interacts with elongation factor-like GTPase 1 to disassociate eukaryotic initiation factor 6 from the late cytoplasmic pre-6S ribosomal subunit allowing assembly of the 8S subunit. Mutations within this gene are associated with the autosomal recessive disorder Shwachman-Bodian-Diamond syndrome. This gene has a closely linked pseudogene that is distally located.

Sporidesmolide V is a cyclodepsipeptide compound isolated from the cultures of Pithornyces chartarum.

This gene encodes a protein that shares high sequence similarity with ribosomal protein L26. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 215]
