EHD1 is a member of the C-terminal EPS15-Homology Domain-containing (EHD) protein family and is involved in recycling cell surface receptors.

Substrate peptide for Scr, tyrosine kinase, for use in in vitro assays for Src activity.Src is a member of the Src Family tyrosine Kinases (SFKs), a large cytosolic, non-receptor, kinase family that controls multiple signalling pathways in animal cells. Src is a tyrosine kinase proto-oncogene and elevated levels of Src protein are seen in different tumours including: breast- lung- thyroid- glioblastoma- colorectal- pancreatic- prostate- gastric- biliary tract and skin cancer. Src levels are often associated with tumour progression, metastasis, and a poor clinical outcome and therefore Src has been investigated as a therapeutic target.Peptide is labelled with an N-terminal 5-carboxyfluorescein (5-FAM), a widely used green fluorescent tag.

Endogenous peptide GPR83 agonist derived from processing of precursor protein, proSAAS, a 26-kDa protein encoded by the PCSK1N gene (chromosomal localization Xp11.3 in humans). It is widely expressed in a number of species where it is involved in feeding, stress modulation and addiction and reward circuits.

Histone H3 (30-41) K36Me2 is derived from Histone 3 (H3) which is one of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) fundamental in compacting eukaryotic DNA into the nucleosome. The nucleosome arises when 147 base pairs of DNA wrap around a H3-H4 tetramer and two H2A-H2B dimers, forming the histone octamer core. Both H4 and H3 are highly conserved and perform roles in binding to segments of DNA which enter and leave the nucleosome and in chromatin formation. Similar to the other core histone, H3 has a globular domain and a flexible N-terminal domain, 'histone tail' which can undergo modifications such as acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation and ubiquitination. Due to histones containing a large number of lysine and arginine residues they have a positive net charge which interacts in an electrostatic manner with the negatively charged phosphate groups in DNA. The transcriptional activation or silencing of the chromatin is controlled by ATP-dependent chromatin remodelling factors and histone modifying enzymes which target histone proteins. Both processes function to alter to change the positioning of the nucleosome, allowing the DNA it to be either available to the transcription machinery or inaccessible.The Histone H3 (30-41) lysine 36 has been dimethylated.

Cell penetrating peptide with a repeating motif of cationic-nonpolar-cationic (C-N-C) residues, such repeating motifs are important features of membrane-penetrating peptides. This peptide is able to enhance the efficacy and uptake of peptide phosphorodiamidate morpholino oligomers (PPMOs) into bacterial cells. PPMOs are synthetic DNA mimics that bind cRNA and inhibit bacterial gene expression, however these antisense oligomers need help crossing the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria due to their molecular weight and polar characteristics. Cell penetrating peptide such as this, when attached to antisense oligomers can improve their entry into Gram-negative bacteria and increased their potency by orders of magnitude.

Acetly-Claudin-6 is derived from the tight junction protein Claudin-6 which is encoded by the CLDN6 gene and can be found within epithelial cell to cell contacts. The Claudin family are transmembrane proteins containing two extracellular loops and are involved in maintaining cell polarity and controlling paracellular ion flux.The expression of Claudin-6 is most commonly seen in early embryonic development where it plays a role in the regulation of blastocyst formation through tight junction enhancement. It is also an important factor for epidermal differentiation and barrier formation. Although it is more commonly seen in embryonic development it is also expressed in mammary epithelial cells. Studies have also shown Cldn6 to be a tumour suppressor in breast cancer.

β-Amyloid 1-12 (Aβ1-12) is one of many short Aβ species found in vivo and is formed by the cleavage of amyloid β precursor protein by β- and α-secretase. Amyloid β-protein (Aβ) has been identified as the key subunit of the extracellular plaques found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer disease (AD) and Down 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 α-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.-Biotin is C-terminally linked to the peptide via ethylenediamine for convenient detection and purification. Alternative β-Amyloid fragments and labels are also available, please refer to our peptide catalogue for availability.

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) E7 protein (49-57) immunogenic Human Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) epitope encoded by human papillomavirus 16 type E7 with very high affinity binding to defined HLA molecule. CEF control peptides are the gold standard for effectively stimulating adaptive immune cells in cytokine assays.

The pathology of coronary heart disease (CHD) and ischemia are linked to the health of endothelial cells in the heart.- However, providing molecular therapies specifically into myocardium remains elusive. The cardiac targeting peptide (CTP) was shown to specifically transduce cardiomyocytes as it is a cationic PTD.This peptide can be used as a conjugate to deliver molecules specifically to the heart. This can be a crucial tool for research into therapeutic drug delivery for ischemic attacks and infarctions. This peptide is research quality and therefore for research purposes only, and not for use in a therapeutic setting.

Mammalian bombesin-like peptide neurotransmitter that is an agonist for the gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR). It exhibits physiological functions such as gastrin and somatostatin release and chemoattraction within the immune system.
