26Rfa, Hypothalamic Peptide, human Reference: HY-P1915 26Rfa, Hypothalamic Peptide, human is a hypothalamic neuropeptide of the RFamide peptide family with orexigenic activity. 26RFa is an orexigenic neuropeptide identified as the endogenous ligand of the orphan G protein-coupled receptor GPR103.
Human TIMP1 protein (active) Reference: GTX48124-pro This gene belongs to the TIMP gene family. The proteins encoded by this gene family are natural inhibitors of the matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), a group of peptidases involved in degradation of the extracellular matrix. In addition to its inhibitory role against most of the known MMPs, the encoded protein is able to promote cell proliferation in a wide range of cell types, and may also have an anti-apoptotic function. Transcription of this gene is highly inducible in response to many cytokines and hormones. In addition, the expression from some but not all inactive X chromosomes suggests that this gene inactivation is polymorphic in human females. This gene is located within intron 6 of the synapsin I gene and is transcribed in the opposite direction. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 28]
CKLF1-C19 Reference: HY-P3982 CKLF1-C19 is the C-terminal peptide of human chemokine-like factor 1 (CKLF1). CKLF1-C19 interacts with CCR4, and inhibits chemotaxis induced by both CKLF1 and CCL17. CKLF1-C19 can suppress allergic lung inflammation via inhibiting chemotaxis mediated by CCR3 and CCR4.
Human Thrombopoietin protein (active) Reference: GTX48125-pro Megakaryocytopoiesis is the cellular development process that leads to platelet production. The main functional protein encoded by this gene is a humoral growth factor that is necessary for megakaryocyte proliferation and maturation, as well as for thrombopoiesis. This protein is the ligand for MLP/C_MPL, the product of myeloproliferative leukemia virus oncogene. Mutations in this gene are the cause of thrombocythemia 1. Alternative promoter usage and differential splicing result in multiple transcript variants differing in the 5 UTR and/or coding region. Multiple AUG codons upstream of the main open reading frame (ORF) have been identified, and these upstream AUGs inhibit translation of the main ORF at different extent. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 214]
C3a (70-77) Reference: HY-P1505 C3a (70-77) is an octapeptide corresponding to the COOH terminus of C3a, exhibits the specificity and 1 to 2% biologic activities of C3a.
Human Thrombomodulin protein (active) Reference: GTX48126-pro The protein encoded by this intronless gene is an endothelial-specific type I membrane receptor that binds thrombin. This binding results in the activation of protein C, which degrades clotting factors Va and VIIIa and reduces the amount of thrombin generated. Mutations in this gene are a cause of thromboembolic disease, also known as inherited thrombophilia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 28]
DiaPep277 Reference: HY-105063 DiaPep277 is a 24 amino acid peptide derived from positions 437-460 in HSP60. DiaPep277 arrests the progression of β-cell destruction in NOD mice. DiaPep277 has an immune modulatory effect on diabetogenic T cells in animal models of diabetes.
Human TGF Beta 3 protein (active) Reference: GTX48128-pro This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of SMAD family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate a latency-associated peptide (LAP) and a mature peptide, and is found in either a latent form composed of a mature peptide homodimer, a LAP homodimer, and a latent TGF-beta binding protein, or in an active form consisting solely of the mature peptide homodimer. The mature peptide may also form heterodimers with other TGF-beta family members. This protein is involved in embryogenesis and cell differentiation, and may play a role in wound healing. Mutations in this gene are a cause of aortic aneurysms and dissections, as well as familial arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 1. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 216]
