Description: PDGFs are disulfide-linked dimers consisting of two 12.0-13.5 kDa polypeptide chains, designated PDGF-A and PDGF-B chains. The three naturally occurring PDGFs, PDGF-AA, PDGF-BB and PDGF-AB, are potent mitogens for a variety of cell types, including smooth muscle cells, connective tissue cells, bone and cartilage cells, and some blood cells. The PDGFs are stored in platelet α-granules, and are released upon platelet activation. The PDGFs are involved in a number of biological processes, including hyperplasia, chemotaxis, embryonic neuron development, and respiratory tubule epithelial cell development. Two distinct signaling receptors used by PDGFs have been identified and named PDGFR-α and PDGFR-β. PDGFR-α is a high-affinity receptor for each of the three PDGF forms. On the other hand, PDGFR-β interacts with only PDGF-BB and PDGF-AB. Recombinant Murine PDGF-BB is a 24.4 kDa disulfide-linked homodimer of two β chains (218 total amino acids).

Description: TGF-α is an EGF-related polypeptide growth factor that signals through the EGF receptor, and stimulates the proliferation of a wide range of epidermal and epithelial cells. It is produced by monocytes, keratinocytes, and various tumor cells. TGF-α induces anchorage-independent transformation in cultured cells. Human, murine and rat TGF-α are cross-species reactive. Recombinant Human TGF-α is a 50 amino acid polypeptide (5.5 kDa), which shares approximately 40% sequence homology with EGF, including 6 conserved cysteine residues, which form 3 intramolecular disulfide bonds.

Description: Proteases (also called Proteolytic Enzymes, Peptidases, or Proteinases) are enzymes that hydrolyze the amide bonds within proteins or peptides. Most proteases act in a specific manner, hydrolyzing bonds at, or adjacent to, specific residues, or a specific sequence of residues contained within the substrate protein or peptide. Proteases play an important role in most diseases and biological processes, including prenatal and postnatal development, reproduction, signal transduction, the immune response, various autoimmune and degenerative diseases, and cancer. They are also an important research tool, frequently used in the analysis and production of proteins. Enterokinase sequentially cleaves carboxyl side of D-D-D-D-K. Human Enterokinase is expressed as a linear 1019 amino acid polypeptide precursor glycoprotein. Proteolytic processing of this precursor generates the biologically active form of Enterokinase, which consists of two polypeptide chains (heavy chain and light chain) held together by a single disulfide bond, resulting in formation of a biologically active heterodimer. The heavy chain consists of 784 amino acid residues, and the light chain consists of 235 amino acid residues. The calculated molecular weight of Recombinant Human Enterokinase is 108.7 kDa.

Description: As a member of the IL-12 family of heterodimeric cytokines that also includes IL-12, IL-23, and IL-35, IL-27 is formed by the association of an IL-27-p28 subunit (also known as IL-30) with the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)-induced Gene 3 (EBI3) subunit (also known as IL-27B). Expressed by antigen-presenting cells (APCs) in the early phases of antigen-mediated activation, IL-27 acts as a critical initiator of adaptive immune responses by promoting the rapid clonal expansion of naïve CD4+ T cells, IFN-γ production, and Th1 polarization. IL-27 elicits its effects through receptor complexes IL-27R (also known as TCCR/WSX-1) and gp130, a receptor shared by IL-6. Mainly expressed in monocytes, endothelial cells, and dendritic cells, IL-27 plays an important role alongside IL-6 in the regulation of inflammation and autoimmunity; directly antagonizing IL-6’s stimulation of CD4+ T cell proliferation and Th17 differentiation.

Description: IL-13 is an immunoregulatory cytokine produced primarily by activated Th2 cells, and also by mast cells and NK cells. Targeted deletion of IL-13 in mice resulted in impaired Th2 cell development and indicated an important role for IL-13 in the expulsion of gastrointestinal parasites. IL-13 exerts anti-inflammatory effects on monocytes and macrophages and it inhibits the expression of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8. IL-13 has also been shown to enhance B cell proliferation and to induce isotype switching, resulting in increased production of IgE. Blocking of IL-13 activity inhibits the pathophysiology of asthma. Human and murine IL-13 are cross-species reactive. Recombinant Murine IL-13 is a 12.3 kDa protein consisting of 111 amino acid residues.

Description: Lymphotactin is the only known member of the C chemokine family, and signals through the receptor XCR1, formally known as GPR5. The spleen shows the highest level of lymphotactin compared to peripheral leukocytes, lung, colon and small intestine. Lymphotactin is chemotactic towards lymphocytes, but not towards monocytes or neutrophils. Recombinant Human Lymphotactin (XCL1) is a 10.0 kDa protein consisting of 92 amino acid residues.

Description: NAP-2 is a CXC chemokine that can signal through the CXCR1 and CXCR2 receptors. It is produced in leukocytes by enzymatic processing of a precursor called platelet basic protein (PBP). NAP-2 chemoattracts and activates neutrophils. Recombinant Human NAP-2 (CXCL7) protein is a 7.6 kDa protein containing 70 amino acid residues, including the four highly conserved cysteine residues present in CXC chemokines, and also the “ELR” motif, common to CXC chemokines that bind to CXCR1 and CXCR2.

Description: I-309 is a CC chemokine that signals through the CCR8 receptor. It is secreted by T lymphocytes, monocytes and mast cells. I-309 chemoattracts monocytes and Th2 differentiated T-cells, but not neutrophils. Human I-309 is active on murine cells. Unlike some CC chemokines, whose biologically active form in solution is a non-disulfide-linked dimer, the biologically active form of I-309 is monomeric. Recombinant Human I-309 (CCL1) is an 8.5 kDa protein consisting of 74 amino acid residues that include six cysteine residues, of which four are the highly conserved cysteine residues present in CC chemokines.

Description: GDNF is a disulfide-linked, homodimeric neurotrophic factor structurally related to Artemin, Neurturin and Persephin. These proteins belong to the cysteine-knot superfamily of growth factors that assume stable dimeric protein structures. GDNF signals through a multicomponent receptor system, composed of a RET and one of the four GFRα (α1-α4) receptors. GDNF specifically promotes dopamine uptake and survival, and morphological differentiation of midbrain neurons. Using a Parkinson’s disease mouse model, GDNF has been shown to improve conditions such as bradykinesia, rigidity, and postural instability. The functional human GDNF ligand is a disulfide-linked homodimer consisting of two 15 kDa polypeptide chains called monomers. Each monomer contains seven conserved cysteine residues, including Cys-101, which is used for inter-chain disulfide bridging, and others that are involved in the intramolecular ring formation known as the cysteine knot configuration. The calculated molecular weight of Recombinant Human GDNF is 30.4 kDa.

The full length human CD34 is a 385 amino acid protein, consisting of a 31 amino acid signal sequence, a 74 amino acid cytoplasmic domain, a 21 amino acid transmembrane domain and a 259 amino acid extracellular domain. Recombinant Human sCD34 is a 258 amino acid polypeptide containing only the extracellular domain of the full length CD34 protein. The calculated molecular weight of Recombinant Human sCD34 is 27.4 kDa.
