Hydroxyproline, a non-essential amino acid derived from proline, with no known therapeutic use. Hydroxproline is used as a major component of structural protiens such as collagen, connective tissues, plant cell walls, tendons and ligaments and provides skin elasticity. Vitiman C is required for the conversion process from proline to hydroxyproline, a deficincy in vitiman C can lead to defects in collagen synthesis, thus, resulting in easy bruising, internal bleeding, breakdown of connective tissue of the ligaments and tendons, and increased risk to blood vessel damage. An unusual feature of this amino acid is that, it is not incorporated into collagen during biosynthesis at the ribosomal level, but is formed from proline by a posttranslational modification by an enzymatic hydroxylation reaction.
Human Heat Shock 70kDa Protein 1A, HSPA1A ELISA Kit, E3015Hu
Function: In cooperation with other chaperones, the Hsp70 family stabilize preexistent proteins against aggregation and mediate the folding of newly translated polypeptides in the cytosol as well as within organelles. These chaperones participate in all these processes through their ability to recognize nonnative conformations of other proteins. They bind extended peptide segments with a net hydrophobic character exposed by polypeptides during translation and membrane translocation, or following stress-induced damage. In case of rotavirus A infection, serves as a post-attachment receptor for the virus to facilitate entry into the cell. Tissue specificity: HSPA1B is testis-specific.
Human Heat Shock Protein 90kDa Beta 1, HSP90b1 ELISA Kit, E3012Hu
Molecular chaperone that functions in the processing and transport of secreted proteins. Functions in endoplasmic reticulum associated degradation (ERAD). Has ATPase activity.
Fish Heat Shock Protein 90, HSP90 ELISA Kit, E0064FI
Molecular chaperone that promotes the maturation, structural maintenance and proper regulation of specific target proteins involved for instance in cell cycle control and signal transduction. Undergoes a functional cycle that is linked to its ATPase activity. This cycle probably induces conformational changes in the client proteins, thereby causing their activation. Interacts dynamically with various co-chaperones that modulate its substrate recognition, ATPase cycle and chaperone function
Fish Heat Shock Protein 70, HSP-70 ELISA Kit, EA0011FI
Inducible heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is a stress protein whose expression is upregulated when the cell or organism is placed under conditions of stress. HSP70 is essential for cellular recovery, survival, and maintenance of normal cellular function. It is also a molecular chaperone that prevents protein aggregation and refolds damaged proteins in response to cellular stress caused by environmental insults, pathogens, and disease. Current research is aimed at exploiting HSP70’s cellular protective abilities as a therapeutic strategy against damaging cellular stress.
Human Orexin A, HCRT1 ELISA Kit, E1296Hu
Neuropeptides that play a significant role in the regulation of food intake and sleep-wakefulness, possibly by coordinating the complex behavioral and physiologic responses of these complementary homeostatic functions. A broader role in the homeostatic regulation of energy metabolism, autonomic function, hormonal balance and the regulation of body fluids, is also suggested. Orexin-A binds to both OX1R and OX2R with a high affinity, whereas orexin-B binds only to OX2R with a similar high affinity.
Human Hemoglobin A1C, Hba1C ELISA Kit, E4060Hu
Involved in oxygen transport from the lung to the various peripheral tissues.
LVV-hemorphin-7 potentiates the activity of bradykinin, causing a decrease in blood pressure.
Spinorphin: functions as an endogenous inhibitor of enkephalin-degrading enzymes such as DPP3, and as a selective antagonist of the P2RX3 receptor which is involved in pain signaling, these properties implicate it as a regulator of pain and inflammation.
Human Hemoglobin, HB ELISA Kit, E2288Hu
Involved in oxygen transport from the lung to the various peripheral tissues.
Human H2A Histone Family, H2AFX ELISA Kit, E7195Hu
Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling.
Rabbit Glutathione S-transferases, GSTs ELISA Kit, E0211Rb
Gluthathione S-transferase (GST) is a 26 kDa protein typically used as a fusion partner of recombinant proteins to increase the level of protein expression in bacterial systems, enhance solubility, protect from proteolysis, improve folding and allow purification by affinity chromatography on gluthathione resin.
