Informations sur le produit

• Nom: Uroguanylin (Human)
• Marque: Biosynth
• Description: Uroguanylin (Human) product containing the disulfide bonds: Cys4-Cys12 and Cys7-Cys15 and avaialable in the trifluoroacetate salt form. Uroguanylin is a peptide hormone that is involved in the regulation of fluid and electrolyte balance in the body. It is produced in the intestinal tract, specifically in the lining of the small intestine and colon.Uroguanylin belongs to a family of peptides that includes guanylin and the heat-stable enterotoxins (STs).These peptides all share a similar structure and function, as they bind to and activate the guanylate cyclase-C (GC-C) receptor in intestinal cells.Activation of GC-C by uroguanylin leads to an increase in cyclic GMP (cGMP) levels, which in turn activates a variety of downstream signaling pathways. This leads to an increase in chloride and bicarbonate secretion in the intestine, as well as an increase in intestinal fluid secretion. Uroguanylin also stimulates sodium and water reabsorption in the kidneys, leading to an increase in urine output.Uroguanylin has been studied for its potential therapeutic applications, particularly in the treatment of gastrointestinal disorders. For example, synthetic analogs of uroguanylin are being developed as potential treatments for constipation and other disorders of intestinal motility. Additionally, uroguanylin has been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and may be useful in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.
