Product Information

• Name: H-Arg-Arg-Leu-Ile-Glu-Asp-Ala-Glu-Tyr-Ala-Ala-Arg-Gly-NH2
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: This peptide hormone is a member of the lipid-binding proteins. It is a basic protein that has been found to be expressed in human leukemia cells and may have an important function in cellular transformation. The hl-60 cells, treated with this agent, show changes in cell shape and motility. Epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptors are activated by this fatty acid, which leads to an increase in the production of EGF by the cells. This peptide hormone has been shown to bind to the epidermal growth factor receptor and stimulate the production of EGF. Monoclonal antibodies can be used to identify this peptide hormone. The binding sites for this peptide hormone are dinucleotide phosphate or cytosolic proteins. This peptide hormone has been associated with autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis.
