Description: Nucleobindin-2 (NUCB2; Prepronesfatin) was first isolated in adipocytes, but is also expressed by gastric mucosa and pancreatic beta cells. This pattern of nucleobindin-2 expression, as well as the presence of nucleobindin-2 within the plasma of rodents and humans, strongly suggests that this compound may act as a circulating regulatory factor. NUCB2 can be cleaved into three polypeptides: nesfatin-1, nesfatin-2, and nesfatin-3. Anorexigenic effects have been described for nesfatin-1 that plays an important role in hypothalamic pathways regulating food intake and energy homeostasis and acting in a leptin-independent manner. Nesfatin-1 may also exert hypertensive roles and modulate blood pressure through directly acting on peripheral arterial resistance. Nucleobindin-2 is therefore reported to reduce food intake after administration, mostly refering to the cleaved peptide nesfatin-1. Excess nucleobindin-2/nesfatin-1 in the brain leads to a loss of appetite, lack of the protein in the brain leads to an increase of appetite.

Description: Angiopoietin-1 (Ang-1) and Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) are closely related secreted ligands which bind with similar affinity to Tie-2. Tie-2 and angiopoietins have been shown to play critical roles in embryogenic angiogenesis and in maintaining the integrity of the adult vasculature. Ang-1 activates Tie-2 signaling on endothelial cells to promote chemotaxis, cell survival, cell sprouting, vessel growth and stabilization. Ang-2 has been identified as a secreted protein ligand of Tie-2 and has alternatively been reported to be an antagonist for Ang-1 induced Tie-2 signaling as well as an agonist for Tie-2 signaling, depending on the cell context.

Description: Rhodamine 6G is a highly fluorescent hydrophilic pH-sensitive dye. It is often used as a tracer dye within water to determine the rate and direction of flow and transport. Rhodamine dyes are used extensively in biotechnology applications such as fluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, fluorescence correlation spectroscopy and ELISA. The dye has a remarkably high photostability and high fluorescence quantum yield. Used as a laser dye and potential mitochondrial probe. The lasing range of the dye is 555 to 585 nm with a maximum at 566 nm. Useful in Pgp efflux assays and has been used to characterize kinetics of MRP1-mediated efflux. Spectral data: lambdaex 528 nm| lambdaem 551 nm (in MeOH).

Description: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is an important gaseous mediator, like nitric oxide, that has significant effects on the immunological, neurological, cardiovascular and pulmonary systems of mammals. WSP-1 is a reactive disulfide-containing, fluorescent probe designed to detect H2S in biological samples and cells. Through a reaction-based fluorescent turn-on strategy, WSP-1 selectively and rapidly reacts with H2S to generate benzodithiolone and a fluorophore with excitation and emission maxima of 465 and 515 nm, respectively.

Description: The inducible costimulator CD278 (ICOS; T cell activation molecule H4) is similar to human CD28 (24% homology) and plays an analogous role in the T cell activation process. Each secondary signal from CD278 results in a discrete cytokine secretion profile displayed by the activated T cell. Both activation processes are effectively down regulated by CD152 (CTLA-4) engagement.

Description: CD68 is a single-pass type I membrane protein which belongs to the LAMP family. CD68 is highly expressed by blood monocytes and tissue macrophages. It is also expressed in lymphocytes, fibroblasts and endothelial cells and in many tumor cell lines which could allow them to attach to selectins on vascular endothelium, facilitating their dissemination to secondary sites. CD68 plays a role in phagocytic activities of tissue macrophages, both in intracellular lysosomal metabolism and extracellular cell-cell and cell-pathogen interactions. It is a commonly used marker for macrophages. However, a number of studies have shown that CD68 antibodies react with other hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cell types, suggesting that CD68 may not be a macrophage-specific antigen. CD68 binds to tissue- and organ-specific lectins or selectins, allowing homing of macrophage subsets to particular sites. Rapid recirculation of CD68 from endosomes and lysosomes to the plasma membrane may allow macrophages to crawl over selectin-bearing substrates or other cells.
