Bovine γ-globulin is a plasma protein fraction rich in antibodies. Bovine γ-globulin has been used as an immunological challenge in studies of mechanisms of immunotolerance. Bovine γ-globulins were used to study the constituents and pH changes in protein rich hyaluronan…

Albumin may be used to eliminate background interference in ELISA's or other enzyme assay systems. It is also used in absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) pharmacological research; cell culture; drug delivery research; and cryopreservation of cells. Albumins are a group…

Lactic acid is fermentation acid from milk or carbohydrates. It occurs in the blood and muscle fluid of man and animals. The lactic acid concentration increases in muscle and blood after vigorous activity. It is also present in other organs including liver, kidney, and thymus gland, and other body…

Adenosine is a nucleotide resulting from the union of one molecule of sugar -- d-ribose -- with a base -- l-adenine. Active in cardiovascular disorders Indicated in cases of angina pectoris Increases coronary output Vasodilator action Induced apoptosis in human leukemia HL-60…

Guanosine-5'-triphosphate, a purine nucleotide, is required as a coenzyme for protein biosynthesis in a cell-free system. Substrate for RNA polymerases Substrate for wide range of GTPases GTP functions as a carrier of phosphates and pyrophosphates involved in channeling chemical…

Erythromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that bind to the 50S ribosomal subunit and inhibit protein synthesis. This is an antimicrobial substance produced by the growth of certain strains of Streptomyces erythreus. It is a mixture consisting largely of erythromycin A with lesser amounts of…

Cyclophosphamide monohydrate is an alkylating, antineoplastic agent, which is converted in the body to an active alkylating metabolite (4-hydroxycyclophosphamide). It possesses immunosuppressant properties. Cyclophosphamide monohydrate used for induction chemotherapy to study predictive and…

Brefeldin A is a fungal metabolite which is a macrocyclic lactone exhibiting a wide range of antibiotic activity. Produced by Penicillium brefeldianum. Blocks binding of the cytosolic coat protein b-COP and ARF to Golgi membranes mediated by protein G. Also blocks protein transportation into…

p-Coumaric acid is a hydroxycinnamic acid, an organic compound that is a hydroxy derivative of cinnamic acid. There are three isomers of coumaric acid- o-coumaric acid, m-coumaric acid, and p-coumaric acid- that differ by the position of the hydroxy substitution of the phenyl group. p-Coumaric…

Paclitaxel has been used as a component of the dechorionation buffer for Gryllus bimaculatus eggs. Paclitaxel has also been used for studying its effect on the movement of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) differentiated NB4 cells. Antitumor and antileukemic agent which lowers the critical…

NMDA agonist acting at the glycine site; precursor of glycine by serine hydroxymethyltransferase.

Squalene, an isoprenoid compound structurally similar to beta-carotene, is an intermediate metabolite in the synthesis of cholesterol. Squalene is not very susceptible to peroxidation and appears to function in the skin as a quencher of singlet oxygen, protecting human skin surface from lipid…
