<p>Decorsin is a research tool that is an activator and ligand for the human receptor. It binds to the receptor by altering its conformation, which leads to cell signaling. Decorsin has been shown to inhibit ion channels, such as potassium channels, and may also function as a receptor antagonist. Decorsin is a high-purity protein with a purity of &gt; 95%. This protein is used in cell biology, pharmacology, and life science research. It can be used as an inhibitor of peptides in the field of protein interactions.</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>AMC is a peptide that acts as an activator of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. AMC is a high-purity, ion channel ligand with a CAS No. 26093-31-2. It is used in life science research to study cell biology and pharmacology. AMC has been shown to be an inhibitor of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in rat brain slices and it has been reported that it can inhibit the proliferation of human leukemia cells.END&gt;</p>

<p>Rituximab is a chimeric monoclonal antibody used in the treatment of some cancers like CD20 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and a few autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis. However, antibody treatment can lead to generation of neutralising antibodies thus curtailing the efficacy of the therapy. CD 4+ T cells are critical to initiate antibody response so identification of epitopes within molecules using T cell assays can be a vital tool for understanding the immune response and thereby prevent induction of neutralising antibodies. Within rituximab, the variable region of the light chain (41-55) was found to have strong affinity for leukocytes in a specific binding assay, the epitope was also correlated to patients who developed neutralising antibodies. This T cell epitope within rituximab in further immune studies could help design or selection of antibodies without T cell epitopes present for low immunogenicity.</p>

<p>Neutrophil Gelatinase Associated Lipocalin (NGAL) is a lipocalin protein that is involved in many physiological and pathophysiological processes. NGAL binds to bacterial products, such as lipopolysaccharide, and can be used as a biomarker for inflammation or infection. NGAL has been shown to be elevated in the urine of patients with urinary tract infections. Additionally, NGAL has been shown to be associated with neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. The recombinant human form of this protein can be used for research purposes or for the development of diagnostic tools.

<p>Azido-dPEG®3-Amine is a PEG compound with two different functional groups (also known as heterobifunctional). Unlike homobifunctional PEG compounds (same functional group on both ends), this type of compounds are more versatile as have two different anchor points. Azido-dPEG®3-Amine is used as a linker and spacer to add a PEG moiety, via pegylation (a bioconjugation technique) to proteins, peptides, oligonucleotides, small molecules and nanoparticles.</p>

<p>Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) is a protein that is used in the pharmaceutical industry as a research tool and an immunological reagent. BSA can be used to bind, stabilize, and prevent denaturation of other proteins in the laboratory. It has been shown to inhibit ion channels and ligand-gated ion channels, which are important for membrane potentials. BSA is also an activator of receptor tyrosine kinases, which are involved in cell signaling pathways.</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>
