Reference: HY-P3969

Prepro-TRH-(160-169) is one of the connecting peptides of thyrotropin-releasing hormone prohormone (pro-TRH), potentiates TRH-induced thyrotropin (TSH) release.

The galectins are a family of beta-galactoside-binding proteins implicated in modulating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions. This gene product may act as an autocrine negative growth factor that regulates cell proliferation. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 28]

BQ-3020 (TFA) is a selective agonist of ETB receptor, inhibits [125I]ET-1 binding to ETB receptor with an IC50 of 0.2 nM in cerebellum, and causes vasoconstriction.

This gene encodes a protein that is secreted by white adipocytes into the circulation and plays a major role in the regulation of energy homeostasis. Circulating leptin binds to the leptin receptor in the brain, which activates downstream signaling pathways that inhibit feeding and promote energy expenditure. This protein also has several endocrine functions, and is involved in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses, hematopoiesis, angiogenesis, reproduction, bone formation and wound healing. Mutations in this gene and its regulatory regions cause severe obesity and morbid obesity with hypogonadism in human patients. A mutation in this gene has also been linked to type 2 diabetes mellitus development. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 217]

MM 419447, a linaclotide metabolite, is a guanylate cyclase-C agonist. MM 419447 has the potential for the research of the irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C).

Reference: HY-P3675

LH-RH (4-10) is a heptapeptide, one of major degradation products of luteinising-hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) via pituitary and hypothalamus. LH-RH (4-10) produced in macrophages and type II pneumocytes.

Reference: HY-113084

L-Cysteine S-sulfate is a potent N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) glutamatergic receptors agonist. L-Cysteine S-sulfate is the substrate for cystine lyase.

Reference: GTX48408-pro

The protein encoded by this gene is a proinflammatory cytokine produced by activated T cells. This cytokine regulates the activities of NF-kappaB and mitogen-activated protein kinases. This cytokine can stimulate the expression of IL6 and cyclooxygenase-2 (PTGS2/COX-2), as well as enhance the production of nitric oxide (NO). High levels of this cytokine are associated with several chronic inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and multiple sclerosis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 28]

Esculentin 1A is a frog skin-derived antimicrobial peptide (AMP) with potent in vitro anti-Pseudomonas activity.

Reference: GTX48412-pro

The protein encoded by this gene is a pleiotropic cytokine that functions as a chemoattractant, a modulator of T cell activation, and an inhibitor of HIV replication. The signaling process of this cytokine is mediated by CD4. The product of this gene undergoes proteolytic processing, which is found to yield two functional proteins. The cytokine function is exclusively attributed to the secreted C-terminal peptide, while the N-terminal product may play a role in cell cycle control. Caspase 3 is reported to be involved in the proteolytic processing of this protein. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 21]
