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.
Bovine Glutathione peroxidase, GSH-Px ELISA Kit, E0006Bo
Glutathione Peroxidase (GPx, EC 1.11.1.9) is an enzyme family with peroxidase activity, and plays important role in protecting of organisms from oxidative damage. It converts reduced glutathione (GSH) to oxidized glutathione (GSSG), to reduce lipid hydroperoxides to their corresponding alcohols, or reduce free hydrogen peroxide to water. Several isozymes have been found in different cellular locations and with different substrate specificity. Low levels of GPx have been correlated with free radical related disorders.
Rat Glutathione, GSH ELISA Kit, EA0113Ra
Glutathione is a small peptide composed of three amino acids: cysteine, glutamic acid, and glycine and is present in tissues in concentrations as high as one millimolar. It contains an unusual peptide linkage between the amine group of cysteine and the carboxyl group of the glutamate side chain. Glutathione is involved in detoxification, it binds to toxins, such as heavy metals, solvents, and pesticides, and transforms them into a form that can be excreted in urine or bile. It is also an important antioxidant, helping to maintain the -SH groups of proteins in their reduced form. Chronic functional glutathione deficiency is associated with glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, immune disorders, an increased incidence of malignancies, and in the case of HIV disease, probably accelerated pathogenesis of the disease. Acute manifestations of functional glutathione deficiency can be seen in those who have taken an overdosage of acetaminophen (paracetamol). This results in depletion of glutathione in the hepatocytes, leading to liver failure and death.
Human Glucose Regulated Protein 78, GRP78 ELISA Kit, E3624Hu
Probably plays a role in facilitating the assembly of multimeric protein complexes inside the endoplasmic reticulum. Involved in the correct folding of proteins and degradation of misfolded proteins via its interaction with DNAJC10, probably to facilitate the release of DNAJC10 from its substrate.
