[Leu3]-Oxytocin

Reference: HY-P3221

[Leu3]-Oxytocin, an oxytocin analogue, is derived by structural variation in sequence position 3 replaced by leucine (Leu).

Human GDF8 / Myostatin protein (active)

Reference: GTX48445-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 negatively regulates skeletal muscle cell proliferation and differentiation. Mutations in this gene are associated with increased skeletal muscle mass in humans and other mammals.

Xenin-8

Reference: HY-P1257

Xenin-8, a C-terminal octapeptide, is a biologically active fragment of Xenin. Xenin is a 25-amino acid peptide of the neurotensin/xenopsin family. Xenin-8 stimulates basal insulin secretion and potentiates the insulin response to glucose in a dose-dependent manner (EC50=0.16 nM).

Human Flt3 Ligand protein (active)

Reference: GTX48446-pro

Dendritic cells (DCs) provide the key link between innate and adaptive immunity by recognizing pathogens and priming pathogen-specific immune responses. FLT3LG controls the development of DCs and is particularly important for plasmacytoid DCs and CD8 (see MIM 18691)-positive classical DCs and their CD13 (ITGAE; MIM 64682)-positive tissue counterparts (summary by Sathaliyawala et al., 21 [PubMed 2933441]).[supplied by OMIM, Jan 211]

CLIP (86-100) (TFA)

Reference: HY-P1826A

CLIP (86-100) TFA is amino acids 86 to 100 fragment of class II-associated invariant chain peptide (CLIP). CLIP is a small self-peptide and cleavage product of the invariant chain that resides in the HLA-II antigen binding groove and is believed to play a critical role in the assembly and transport of MHC class II alphabetaIi complexes through its interaction with the class II peptide-binding site.

Human VEGFD protein

Reference: GTX48447-pro

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the platelet-derived growth factor/vascular endothelial growth factor (PDGF/VEGF) family and is active in angiogenesis, lymphangiogenesis, and endothelial cell growth. This secreted protein undergoes a complex proteolytic maturation, generating multiple processed forms which bind and activate VEGFR-2 and VEGFR-3 receptors. This protein is structurally and functionally similar to vascular endothelial growth factor C. Read-through transcription has been observed between this locus and the upstream PIR (GeneID 8544) locus. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 211]

[Lys5,MeLeu9,Nle10]Neurokinin A(4-10)

Reference: HY-P3849

[Lys5,MeLeu9,Nle10]Neurokinin A(4-10) (LMN-NKA), an analogue of Neurokinin A, is a selective and potent NK2R agonist. [Lys5,MeLeu9,Nle10]Neurokinin A(4-10) has prokinetic activity. [Lys5,MeLeu9,Nle10]Neurokinin A(4-10) can be used to study the roles of the NK-2 receptor in smooth muscle contraction in numerous tissues.

Human FGF10 protein (active)

Reference: GTX48448-pro

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities, and are involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. This protein exhibits mitogenic activity for keratinizing epidermal cells, but essentially no activity for fibroblasts, which is similar to the biological activity of FGF7. Studies of the mouse homolog of suggested that this gene is required for embryonic epidermal morphogenesis including brain development, lung morphogenesis, and initiation of lim bud formation. This gene is also implicated to be a primary factor in the process of wound healing. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 28]
