Cholecystokinin (CCK)-A and CCK-B receptors are highly homologous members of the seven transmembrane domain G-protein-coupled receptor super-family. Peptides in the cholecystokinin (CCK) family have a variety of biological functions in the central and peripheral nervous systems as well as in the...

This peptide is a fragment of the JAG-1 protein. JAG-1 is Notch ligand, a peptide that is the most conspicuously expressed ligand in skin. JAG-1 induces epidermal maturation. Exposing submerged keratinocytes monolayers to JAG-1 with elevated calcium concentration produces stratification with...

Human Granulocyte Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (hGM-CSF), a hematopoietic growth factor, is mainly involved in granulopoiesis and monocytopoiesis. It is produced by T-cells and macrophages in response to antigens, and by endothelial cells and fibroblasts following induction of...

10 mM Stabilized dNTP mix (HS dNTP Mix) is suitable for use in PCR, sequencing, nick translation, fill-in, cDNA synthesis, TdT tailing reactions, and dilution of radiolabeled dNTPs. These nucleotides are supplied as convenient, ready-to-use solutions at a concentration of 10 mM in Tris-HCl (pH 7.5)....

PreScission Protease is a fusion protein of glutathione S-transferase (GST) and human rhinovirus (HRV) type 14 3C protease . The protease specifically recognizes a subset of sequences which include the core amino acid sequence Leu-Phe-Gln/Gly-Pro cleaving between the Gln and Gly residues . Substrate...

Macrophage Colony-Stimulating Factor 1 (M-CSF) , involved especially in monocytopoiesis, [1] is a hematopoietic growth factor. In mammals, it exits three isoforms, which invariably share an N-terminal 32-aa signal peptide, a 149-residue growth factor domain, a 21-residue transmembrane region and a...

The adaptor is for use with Novex XCell I, II & SureLock® gel tanks when running ExpressPlus™ or SurePAGE™ gels (8x10cm), see gel manual for detail.

Proheparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF), also known as DTR, DTS and HEGFL, is a member of the EGF family of mitogens. It is expressed in macrophages, monocytes, endothelial cells and muscle cells. HB-EGF signals through the EGF receptor to stimulate the proliferation of smooth muscle...

Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is a vasoconstrictor and a brain peptide that inhibits Ca 2+ -activated K + channels in vascular smooth muscle. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) is implicated in the control of blood pressure, sexual behavior, and food intake. Neuropeptide Y (NPY) inhibits cholecystokinin- and...

PEG (Polyethylene glycol) is a polyether compound with many applications from industrial manufacturing to medicine. PEGylation is a technology that covalent couples non-toxic, hydrophilic polyethylene glycol (PEG) to the drug. It is an FDA-approved method for the delivery of protein drugs.PEG...

TSLP is a hemopoietic protein that is expressed in the heart, liver and prostate. TSLP overlaps biological activities with IL-7 and binds with the heterodimeric receptor complex consisting of the IL-7R alpha chain (IL-7Rª) and the TSLP-specific chain (TSLPR). Like IL-7, TSLP induces phosphorylation...

The Benz-Neburase is a genetically engineered endonuclease from Serratia marcescens used as a DNA eraser in the purification processes of biological molecules. The enzyme cleaves all forms of DNA and RNA into smaller nucleotides of around 5-8 base pairs. Benz-Neburase requires divalent cation,...

Heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor (HB-EGF) is a member of the EGF family of proteins. HB-EGF-like growth factor is synthesized as a membrane-anchored mitogenic and chemotactic glycoprotein. An epidermal growth factor produced by monocytes and macrophages, due to an affinity for heparin is...

Granulocyte Macrophage-Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) was initially characterized as a growth factor that can support the in vitro colony formation of granulocyte-macrophage progenitors. Granulocyte Macrophage-Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) is produced by a number of different cell types,...

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) also known as Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 5 (CEACAM5), CD antigen CD66e, Meconium antigen 100, is an oncofetal glycoprotein that is normally expressed by mucosal cells.
