Melatonin, the principal hormone of the pineal gland, is also produced by the retina, lens and GI tract. It is naturally synthesized from the amino acid tryptophan (via synthesis of serotonin) by the enzyme 5-hydroxyindole-O-methyltransferase. Production of melatonin by the pineal gland is under the influence of the suprachiasmatic nucleus of the hypothalamus (SCN -the site of a circadian clock) which receives information from the retina about the daily pattern of light and darkness. Melatonin can alter the timing of mammalian circadian rhythms, as well as regulate the reproductive alterations that occur in response to changes in day length in seasonally breeding mammals. Melatonin is also an extremely powerful antioxidant, with a particular role in the protection of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA. Therapeutically there may be many potential uses for melatonin such as in the treatment of various forms of some forms of depression, cancer, HIV, plus other viral diseases. Currently, Melatonin is a popular therapy for jet-lag and disturbances of sleep.

Rat Matrix metalloproteinase 1, MMP-1 ELISA Kit, E0312Ra
MMP1 is a member of the matrix metalloproteinase family of proteins. These proteins function in the breakdown of the extracellular matrix during a variety of normal and pathological cellular process. MMP1 is an interstitial and fibroblast collagenase.
Rat Mullerian Inhibiting Substance, MIS/AMH ELISA Kit, E0456Ra
Anti mullerian hormone (AMH) is a member of the TGF beta superfamily. It is secreted as a homodimeric 140kD disulphide linked precursor that is cleaved to release the mature 30kD homodimer. Originally classified as a foetal testicular hormone that inhibits Mullerian duct development, AMH is expressed post natally by immature Sertoli cells, and to a lesser degree by granulosa cells. AMH plays a role in testicular differentiation and in the regulation of ovarian follicle growth.
Rat Malondialdehyde, MDA ELISA Kit, E0156Ra
Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a natural product formed in all mammalian cells as a product of lipid peroxidation. MDA is a highly reactive three carbon dialdehyde produced as a byproduct of polyunsaturated fatty acid peroxidation and arachidonic acid metabolism. MDA readily combines with several functional groups on molecules including proteins, lipoproteins, and DNA. It reacts with DNA to form adducts to deoxyguanosine and deoxyadenosine. The major adduct to DNA is a pyrimidopurinone called M1G which appears to be a major endogenous DNA adduct in human beings that may contribute significantly to cancer linked to lifestyle and dietary factors. MDA modified proteins may show altered physico chemical behavior and antigenicity. MDA is toxic and has been implicated in aging mutagenesis, carcinogenesis, diabetic nephropathy and radiation damage. Increased expression of MDA has been reported in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. Antibodies to MDA will help to visualize the MDA adducts.

Rat Leukotriene B4 receptor 1, LTB4R ELISA Kit, E0941Ra
Receptor for extracellular ATP > UTP and ADP. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. May be the cardiac P2Y receptor involved in the regulation of cardiac muscle contraction through modulation of L-type calcium currents. Is a receptor for leukotriene B4, a potent chemoattractant involved in inflammation and immune response.
Human Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor Related Protein 1, LRP1 ELISA Kit, E2298Hu
Prolow-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) is an endocytic receptor involved in endocytosis and in phagocytosis of apoptotic cells. LRP1 is widely expressed on many cell types including neurons, adipocytes, hepatocytes, vascular smooth muscle cells, fibroblasts, keratinocytes, macrophages, and megakaryocytes. Human LRP1 is an N-glycosylated and sialylated molecule that is cleaved in the Golgi apparatus to produce an 85 kDa transmembrane beta chain and a 515 kDa alpha chain that associates noncovalently with the beta chain but does not itself cross the membrane.
