<p>Acid α-glucosidase (83-99) (human) is derived from the exogenous enzyme which degrades glycogen, maltose and isomaltose through targeting alpha -1,4 and alpha -1,6 linkages. Once synthesised in its precursor form, within the Golgi it is glycosylated and acquires mannose 6-phosphate residues. This allows it to be transported to the Lysosome in a multistep process.Pompe disease, also known as glycogen storage disease type II, can be diagnosed through the absence of acid α-glucosidase activity within patients. Therefore glycogen degradation in the lysosome is inhibited by this autosomal recessive disorder. This results in the accumulation of glycogen and tissue destruction, hence contributing to the pathologies of muscle weakness and respiratory failure, associated with infantile onset and adult onset Pompe disease.</p>

<p>Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) is negative regulator of hepatic low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptors by promoting their degradation. This leads to an increase in plasma levels of cholesterol-LDL (LDL-c). PCSK9 binds to the LDL receptor at the epidermal growth factor precursor homology domain A (EGF-A) which leads the receptor to be targeted for degradation. Natural loss of function mutations in PCSK9 have been linked to improved coronary health and lower cholesterol levels with reduced risk of coronary heart disease. This has led to further study to find inhibitors of PCSK9 with the hope that they may be clinically relevant in the future.As discussed, PCSK9 binds to EGF-A on the LDL receptor. A peptide named pep 2-8 is a mimic of EGF-A and binds PCSK9 in the same manner observed with the LDL receptor. Pep 2-8 is a potent selective competitive inhibitor of PCSK9.

<p>Substrate for proline-rich tyrosine kinase 2 (Pyk2)- can be used for substrate phosphorylation assays. Pyk2 is a member of the focal adhesion kinase (FAK) subfamily of cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases. Pyk2 is also known as: calcium-dependent tyrosine kinase (CADTK)- cellular adhesion kinase β- related adhesion focal tyrosine kinase (RAFTK)- or FAK2.Pyk2 functions as a scaffold protein, and it interacts with cytoplasmic proteins at focal adhesion sites to integrate different environmental signals. Pyk2 is activated by several stimuli, including elevated intracellular calcium levels, protein kinase C activation, and exposure to stress factors. Recently, Pyk2 has become a potentially important new therapeutic target or prognostic marker because overexpression of Pyk2 has been found in many human tumours.</p>

<p>Prostaglandin E2 (EP2) receptor antagonist</p>

<p>Olopatadine is a histamine H1 antagonist that is used to treat allergic conjunctivitis and rhinitis. This drug is also a mast cell stabilizer. Upon binding, Olopatadine blocks the H1 receptor signaling pathway, inhibiting the release of inflammatory mediators, such as tryptase, prostaglandin D2, TNF-alpha, as well as pro-inflammatory cytokines.</p>

<p>Inhibitor of HIF prolyl hydroxylase</p>

<p>H+/K+ ATPase inhibitor</p>

<p>Adenosine-A1 receptor agonist</p>

<p>Autocamtide-2-related inhibitory peptide is a calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) inhibitor.CAMK represents a class of Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase enzymes. CAMKs are activated by increases in the concentration of intracellular calcium ions (Ca2+) and transfers phosphates from ATP to defined serine or threonine residues in other proteins. Activated CAMK is involved in the phosphorylation of transcription factors and therefore, in the regulation of expression of responding genes.</p>

<p>ERKtide Substrate Peptide.</p>

<p>Betaxolol is a beta-1 adrenergic antagonist that is used for the treatment of hypertension and elevated intraocular pressure. As a result of blocking beta-1 adrenergic receptors, heart rate, blood pressure and cardiac output is reduced.</p>

<p>Amino acids 359-409 of human glycogen synthase kinase 3 β (GSKβ), a multifunctional serine/threonine kinase widely expressed in most mammalian cells. GSKβ is highly active under basal conditions and acts downstream of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signalling. PI3K activation results in Akt phosphorylation and the subsequent phosphorylation of GSKβ at serine-9 and its inactivation. GSKβ in turn activates the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-1β, IL-6, IL-12, IL-17, TNFalpha and IFNγ, and supresses the production of IL-10, IL-1Ra, and IFNβ by immune cells. Under resting conditions, GSKβ is constitutively active due to tyrosine-216 phosphorylation, and it phosphorylates and inhibits a diverse group of pro-oncogenic substrates, such as: β-catenin- cyclin D1- c-Jun- c-Myc and CREB. GSKβ is also involved in Wnt signalling pathways.Aberrant expression of GSKβ has been shown to promote cell growth in some cancers and to suppress it in others. GSKβ inhibition leads to the accumulation of β-catenin in the nucleus, enhancing the progression of many cancers. However the inhibition of GSKβ also induces apoptosis in various types of cancers, such as pancreatic, colorectal and bladder cancer. Inhibition of GSKβ can also have neuroprotective effects on dopaminergic neurons such as in Parkinson's disease.</p>

<p>DNA alkylating agent; highly potent metabolite of nemorubicin</p>

<p>PAC 1 is a small-molecule apoptosis inducer, derived from synthetic sources, with a unique mode of action targeting the apoptotic pathways in cancer cells. PAC 1 functions by selectively activating procaspase-3, an inactive precursor of the caspase enzymes, which play a crucial role in the execution phase of cell apoptosis. By facilitating the conversion of procaspase-3 to its active form, PAC 1 enhances the apoptotic response in cancer cells, promoting cell death and offering potential therapeutic advantages.</p>

<p>KRAS G12C inhibitor</p>

<p>A chemical probe for the dual bromodomains of human transcription-initiation-factor TFIID subunit 1 (TAF1). GNE 371 binds TAF1 with an IC50 of 10 nM and is selective over other bromodomain family members. Exerts anti-proliferative effects in synergy with BET inhibitor JQ1.</p>

Inducing KLP4 expression in ovarian cancer cells using APT0 253 sensitises cells to cisplatin  and paclitaxel. BRCA1/2-deficient cancer cells are hypersensitive to APTO 253, which mediates its action by causing DNA damage.</p>

<p>During extraction of lecithin from egg yolk, peptide by-products can be isolated and purified by gel filtration. Within the by-products this has led to the discovery of biologically active value-added products. The egg yolk gel filtration (EFGF) fractions were analysed for their antioxidant and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory activities. EYGF-56 predominantly contained 3 peptides - SDNRNQGY, IQVPL, and KGLWE. IQVPL in EYGF-56 was found to have minimal antioxidant activity.

<p>Agonist of GnRH receptors</p>

<p>The sequence of this peptide has been derived from a highly conserved region of the T-cell phosphatase TC.PTP45 and is an excellent general substrate for protein tyrosine phosphatases.The protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) superfamily has 103 enzymes that catalyse substrate dephosphorylation at tyrosine residues through a covalent enzyme intermediate involving a thiophosphate linkage from the active site cysteine residue. All PTPs share a common signature motif (I/V)HCXAGXGR(S/T), named the P-loop, responsible for the enzyme activity. The PTP superfamily can be divided into four classes based on their cellular localization/catalytic domains: the receptor-like PTPs (rPTPs), the non-receptor PTPs (nrPTPs), the low molecular weight PTP (LMWPTP), and the VH-1 and CDC-25 groups.PTPs are involved in regulating a plethora of cellular activities, including proliferation and differentiation, survival, migration, metabolism, and the immune response. Abnormal protein tyrosine phosphorylation has been associated with the etiology of various human diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune dysfunctions, therefore making PTPs novel therapeutic targets.</p>
