Human epidermal growth factor receptor (HER-2)/epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (ErbB-2), is a key receptor linked to metastasis in tumours. The oncogenic ErbB-2 receptor has intrinsic receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) activity, the receptor is activated by ligand binding which induces receptor dimerization. These RTK complexes can activate mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphoinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathways. This peptide has been identified as a substrate for HER-2/ErbB-2 as it is phosphorylated upon receptor activation and therefore acts as a marker for receptor activation in kinases assays. Contains a covalently attached N-terminal biotin tag for convenient detection and purification.

BAM (8-22), the Bovine adrenal medulla 8-22 peptide is synthesised from proekephalin after it has undergone proteolytic cleavage. It can induce what is known as the 'itching' or 'scratching' response through activating, using an opioid independent mechanism, the G-protein coupled receptor MRGPRX1. This subsequently activates the Gαq/11 pathway and the cation channel TRPA1 histamine independent itch pathways.It is believed that BAM 8-22 can contribute to chronic itching in diseases such as cholestasis-related pruritus, in which patients are commonly diagnosed as having a reduction in bile flow.

The GHK tripeptide has many attributes which can positively impact human health. GHK can improve tissue repair, exhibit anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties, suppress age related molecules and restore chronic obstructive pulmonary disease fibroblasts.The GHK tripeptide is found in the human plasma and binds copper. It exerts its effects through its ability to up regulate and downregulate 4,000 human genes. Due to its ability to protect and regenerate aspects of human health, GHK-Cu can be used in products for skin and hair.Specifically during skin regeneration GHK-Cu can promote the synthesis of collagen and glycosa-minoglycans, increase the rate of wound healing and the formation of blood vessels.A palmitoyl group is present on the N-terminus.

Peptide H-SL^YNTVATL-OH is a Research Peptide with significant interest within the field academic and medical research. This peptide is available for purchase at Cymit Quimica in multiple sizes and with a specification of your choice.

Aβ has been identified as the key subunit of the extracellular plaques found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Down's syndrome (DS). Aβ has therefore been extensively studied as a potential target for treatment of AD.Aβ is formed from the cleavage of the large, transmembrane protein- APP (amyloid precursor protein). Cleavage of APP by β- and then γ-secretases results in the formation of Aβ. Aβ can aggregate to produce amyloid-β oligomers, which are thought to be highly neurotoxic. Over time Aβ can further aggregate to produce the characteristic senile plaques present in AD and DS. Aβ can be degraded by enzymes such as neprilysin, insulin degrading enzyme or endothelin converting enzyme. At physiological levels Aβ may be involved in controlling synaptic activity and neuronal survival.

Peptide H-TKEGVLYVGSK^-OH is a Research Peptide with significant interest within the field academic and medical research. This peptide is available for purchase at Cymit Quimica in multiple sizes and with a specification of your choice.

The CMX-8933 peptide is a fragment of the goldfish brain neurotrophic factor ependymin which can increases the enzymatic activity of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), increase the phosphorylation of JNK and c-Jun proteins, and increase cellular levels of c-Jun and c-Fos mRNAs.

Peptide H-VLGSGAFGTVYK^-OH is a Research Peptide with significant interest within the field academic and medical research. This peptide is available for purchase at Cymit Quimica in multiple sizes and with a specification of your choice.

Fluorogenic substrate peptide to assay the caspase-like peptidic activity of the 20S proteasome. In its intact state this peptide is non-fluorescent, however when the Rhodamine fluorophore is released upon hydrolysation, fluorescence can be detected. This peptide is therefore a useful tool for analysing enzyme activity.The presence of the D-proline residue on the C terminal of the rhodamine molecule ensures one directional rhodamine cleavage which simplifies fluorescence studies. Rhodamine 110 is a laser grade fluorescent dye with excitation maxima at 496 nm and emission maxima at 522 nm.

Peptide H-SAINNYAQKL-OH is a Research Peptide with significant interest within the field academic and medical research. This peptide is available for purchase at Cymit Quimica in multiple sizes and with a specification of your choice.

Dipeptide consisting of one glycine and one serine residue with diverse uses. Primary metabolite and bronsted base, forms a complex with Cu(II) acting as a tridentate ligand.Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential and are directly involved in an organism's development, growth, or reproduction.

GRGD-acid is a cell adhesive peptide containing the RGD motif. This enables it the ability to increase cell adhesion and rates of cell growth, differentiation and proliferation.When immobilised onto a Poly(etheretherketone) (PEEK) surface it has been shown to increase cell adhesion and proliferation in MC3T3-E1 cells. GRGD could therefore be used in dental implants.This peptide contains a C-terminal Alexa Fluor 647 florescent dye. A cysteine residue has been added to the C-terminus for conjugation of the dye via the cysteine thiol moiety. AF647 is a bright, far-red-fluorescent dye with excitation between 594 nm and 633 nm, and is pH-insensitive over a wide molar range.

Alpha-Casozepine (alpha-CZP) is a tryptic hydrolysate of bovine milk alphas1-casein. The presence of bile salts facilitates alpha-CZP absorption through a Caco2 monolayer. alpha-CZP shows similarities to benzodiazepines with its anxiolytic-like activity but lack the common side effects of habituation or sedation. alpha-CZP binds to the GABAA receptor at the benzodiazepine site.  alpha-CZP binds with a significantly lower affinity than benzodiazepines.Intraperitoneal administration of Alpha-Casozepine (alpha-CZP) to rodents results in anticonvulsant and sleep-protecting effects. Human administration reduces physiological stress symptoms in stressed and control patients. alpha-CZP modulated neuronal activity in brain regions linked to anxiety regulation in mice.
