<p>IL-1α is a cytokine protein that has been shown to be involved in the immune system. IL-1α is an activator of the receptor and is also a ligand for it. The protein has been shown to activate ion channels, which are proteins that allow ions to pass through either by diffusion or by facilitated transport. This activation causes cells to produce more hydrogen ions, which leads to an increase in the acidity of the cell. IL-1α has also been shown to inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis.</p>

<p>A Cholesterol Ester Transfer Protein (CETP) heavy tryptic peptide standard responsible for use in protein identification and quantitation studies. CETP is an enzyme which moves cholesterol esters from high density lipoproteins (HDL) to apolioprotein B-containing particles. This action lowers the amount of HDL which may increase the risk of the disease atherosclerosis.</p>

<p>Insulin is a peptide hormone that is produced by beta cells in the pancreas. Insulin has several important functions, including regulation of blood sugar levels, lipid metabolism and protein synthesis. It is also involved in the regulation of cellular growth and proliferation. Insulin binds to insulin receptors on the surface of cells, activating them and allowing for the uptake of glucose into cells and storage as glycogen. Insulin is a ligand for the insulin receptor. It can also bind to other receptors, such as IGF1R, which causes activation of PI3K/AKT pathway. Insulin is an antibody that can be used as research tool or cell biology reagent.<br>INSULIN CAN BE USED TO:<br>- Measure blood sugar levels<br>- Monitor diabetes<br>- Treat diabetes<br>- Control weight gain<br>- Improve muscle mass</p>

<p>Cysteine peptide (Ac RFAAKAA COOH) is used in combination with Lysinepeptide (Ac RFAACAA COOH) in the Direct Peptide Reactivity Assay (DPRA) test.<br>Direct Peptide Reactivity Assay is used in cosmetic applications for the characterization of the skin sensitizing potential of a substance, framed by OECD Guideline no 442.<br>The molecular initiating event (MIE) in skin sensitization is a binding between epidermal proteins and the sensitizing chemical substance. MIE is part of the adverse outcome pathway (AOP) of skin sensitization.<br>It is thanks to the properties of Lysine peptide and Cysteine peptide that the chemical binding will be able to take place, so these synthetic heptapeptides will mimic the reaction of a skin exposed to a substance.<br>Binding between nucleophilic proteins and electrophile substance will be measured by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Therefore, the decrease in Lysine peptide and Cysteine peptide levels will be a sign of sensitizing event. Depending on the rate of depletion, the sensitizing character of a molecule will be determined (see table at the bottom of the page).<br>In chemico DPRA test also has wider applications such as hazard classification in cosmetics, but also for pharmaceuticals and biocides. It is a good alternative to animal experimentation.</p>

<p>ANP (Rat, 3-28) is a peptide that is a potent inhibitor of protein interactions. This peptide binds to the ligand-binding domain of the receptor and blocks the binding of the ligand. ANP (Rat, 3-28) also has high purity and can be used as a research tool or an antibody in life science studies.</p>

<p>Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a peptide hormone that regulates the concentration of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D in the blood. It is synthesized by the parathyroid glands and acts on bone, kidney and intestine to regulate the level of these substances in the blood. PTH has an N-terminal 34 amino acid residue that is responsible for the biological activity of the hormone. Inhibitors of PTH are used as research tools to study receptor interactions and ion channels.</p>

<p>This product has disulfide bonds between Cys1-Cys15 and Cys3-Cys11 and is available as a 0.1mg vial. Big Endothelin-1 (Human, 1-38) is part of the full lengthed 29 amino acid peptide Big Endothlin-1 which is a precursor peptide of the vasoconstrictorEndothelin-1 (ET-1). ET-1 exhibits vasoconstrictive properties and is an activator of endothelin G-protein coupled receptors. Furthermore ET-1 is produced when inflammation, vascular stress or hypoxia occurs. In vivo Big Endothelin-1 has a greater half life compared to ET-1 and therefore makes it useful to study secretory activity in the endothelial system.<br>Overall Big Endothelin-1 (Human, 1-38) can be used as a research tool for studying protein interactions, receptor activation and function, and ligand binding. This peptide is also used in pharmacology to study the effects of therapeutic agents on receptor activity and expression.</p>
