Orexin A (human, rat, mouse)

Reference: HY-106224

Orexin A (human, rat, mouse) (Hypocretin-1 (human, rat, mouse)), a 33 amino acid excitatory neuropeptide, orchestrates diverse central and peripheral processes. Orexin A (human, rat, mouse) is a specific, high-affinity agonist for G-protein-coupled receptor OX1R. Orexin A (human, rat, mouse) has a role in the regulation of feeding behavior. Orexin A (human, rat, mouse) is an effective anti-nociceptive and anti-hyperalgesic agent in mice and rats.

Human Fas Ligand protein, His tag (active)

Reference: GTX48225-pro

This gene is a member of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily. The primary function of the encoded transmembrane protein is the induction of apoptosis triggered by binding to FAS. The FAS/FASLG signaling pathway is essential for immune system regulation, including activation-induced cell death (AICD) of T cells and cytotoxic T lymphocyte induced cell death. It has also been implicated in the progression of several cancers. Defects in this gene may be related to some cases of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 214]

MDP1 acetate

Reference: HY-P3328A

MDP1 acetate, a Melittin-derived peptide, alters the integrity of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacterial membranes and kills the bacteria via membrane damages. MDP1 acetate has a high-antibacterial activity against multidrug resistant (MDR) and reference strains of S. aureus, E. coli, and P. aeruginosa.

Human Fas protein (active)

Reference: GTX48226-pro

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. This receptor contains a death domain. It has been shown to play a central role in the physiological regulation of programmed cell death, and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various malignancies and diseases of the immune system. The interaction of this receptor with its ligand allows the formation of a death-inducing signaling complex that includes Fas-associated death domain protein (FADD), caspase 8, and caspase 1. The autoproteolytic processing of the caspases in the complex triggers a downstream caspase cascade, and leads to apoptosis. This receptor has been also shown to activate NF-kappaB, MAPK3/ERK1, and MAPK8/JNK, and is found to be involved in transducing the proliferating signals in normal diploid fibroblast and T cells. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, some of which are candidates for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). The isoforms lacking the transmembrane domain may negatively regulate the apoptosis mediated by the full length isoform. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 211]

Lysobactin

Reference: HY-P2108

Lysobactin, produced by several genera of Gram-negative gliding bacteria found in soil, is a potent antibiotic with in vivo efficacy against Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Human Apolipoprotein A1 protein

Reference: GTX48228-pro

This gene encodes apolipoprotein A-I, which is the major protein component of high density lipoprotein (HDL) in plasma. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protein, which promotes cholesterol efflux from tissues to the liver for excretion, and is a cofactor for lecithin cholesterolacyltransferase (LCAT), an enzyme responsible for the formation of most plasma cholesteryl esters. This gene is closely linked with two other apolipoprotein genes on chromosome 11. Defects in this gene are associated with HDL deficiencies, including Tangier disease, and with systemic non-neuropathic amyloidosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 215]

Suc-Ala-Glu-Pro-Phe-pNA TFA

Reference: HY-P4202A

Suc-Ala-Glu-Pro-Phe-pNA (Suc-AEPF-pNA ) TFA is a chromogenic substrate for the peptidylprolyl isomerase Pin1. Suc-Ala-Glu-Pro-Phe-pNA TFA can be used to evaluate the inhibitory effect of the target compound on Pin1, and catalytic activity of Pin1, etc.

Boc-D-Leucine monohydrate

Reference: HY-W002299

Boc-D-Leucine monohydrate (Boc-D-Leu-OH hydrate) is an N-Boc-protected form of D-Leucine (L330150). D-Leucine is an unnatural isomer of L-Leucine (L330110) that acts as an auto-inhibitor of lactic streptococci. D-Leucine shows potent anti-seizure effect.

Human GDF6 protein (active)

Reference: GTX48234-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 each subunit of the disulfide-linked homodimer. This protein is required for normal formation of some bones and joints in the limbs, skull, and axial skeleton. Mutations in this gene are associated with Klippel-Feil syndrome, microphthalmia, and Leber congenital amaurosis. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 216]
