Human BNDF
|
Human Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is a member of the Nerve growth factor family. BDNF is induced by cortical neurons, and is necessary for survival of striatal neurons in the brain. During development, BDNF promotes the survival and differentiation of selected neuronal populations of the peripheral and central nervous systems. It participates in axonal growth, pathfinding and in the modulation of dendritic growth and morphology. It functions as the major regulator of synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in many regions of the CNS. The versatility of BDNF is emphasized by its contribution to a range of adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation (LTP), long-term depression (LTD), certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, as well as homeostatic regulation of intrinsic neuronal excitability. |

Human NT-3 & NT-4
|
Neurotrophins are growth factors that modulate growth, differentiation, and survival of neurons. Structure related proteins include neuron growth factor (NGF), brain derived neurogenic factor (BDNF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), and neurotrophin-4/5 (NT-4). They are highly homologous and share a similar structure of a tertiary folded, cysteine rich "knot". Neurotrophins are critical to the development of the central and peripheral nervous system and they play important roles in injury induced neuron regeneration. NT-3 is encoded by the NTF3 gene, and is the only neurotrophin that affects the development of the enteric nervous system. NT-3 primarily activates the TrkC tyrosine kinase receptor. In addition, NT-3 can activate Trk and TrkB kinase receptors in certain cell systems. NT-3 can also bind with low affinity to the low affinity NGF receptor. Dysregulation of NT-3 is known to be related with neuroblastoma, Alzhiemer's, Huntington's, and Parkinson's Disease. Due to the broad cell poplulations affected by NT-3, the control of NT-3-TrkC pathway has become a target for therapeutical approach for neurogenic diseases. NT-4 promotes the development and survival of selected peripheral and CNS neurons. BDNF, which also activates TrkB, overlaps with many but not all NT-4 functions, a distinction that is likely due to differences in expression patterns. NT-4 induced TrkB signaling augments NMDA receptor activity and increases neuronal sensitivity to excitotoxic cell death. It also promotes the proliferation of keratinocytes and accelerates hair follicle regression during the follicular cycle. NT-4 is secreted by activated T cells and granulocytes at sites of inflammation where it contributes to tissue regeneration. |

ApoA1
|
ApoA1 (Apolipoprotein A1) is synthesized in the liver and small intestine, and is the major protein component of high density lipoprotein (HDL) in the plasma. ApoA1 has a unique ability to capture and solubilize free cholesterol, and promotes cholesterol efflux from tissues to the liver for excretion. The process, called reverse cholesterol transport, is thought to inhibit atherogenesis. The recombinant human ApoA1 consists of 244 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 28.2 KD. |

Recombinant Bovine Enterokinase (rbEK) Protein
|
Enterokinase (EK) is an enzyme produced by cells of the duodenum and involved in human digestion. It plays a role of turning trypsinogen to its active form trypsin, and indirectly activates the pancreatic digestive enzymes. Enterokinase is a specific protease that cleaves after a lysine preceded by four aspartic acids: Asp-Asp-Asp-Asp-Lys. Enterokinase will not work if the recognition site is followed by a proline. |

Recombinant BTX (Light Chain) Protein
|
Botulinum neurotoxin type A is one of the seven serotypes of Botulinum Neurotoxins (BoNTs) produced by various strains of Clostridium botulinum. BoNTs are synthesized as inactive single chain protein precursors and activated by proteolytic cleavage to generate disulfide-linked two-chain proteins. The 50 kDa light chain contains the catalytic domain, whereas the 100 kDa heavy chain contains an internal translocation domain and a receptor binding domain. BoNTs are the most potent protein toxins for humans. As zinc proteases, they cleave SNARE proteins to elicit flaccid paralysis in botulism by blocking acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction. E. coli-expressed recombinant light chains are active proteases. However, they are not toxic because they cannot enter into host cells in the absence of the heavy chains. |

IMACS
|
Immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) technique has been widely used to purify native proteins with an intrinsic affinity to metal ions. The major application is for the purification of His-tagged recombinant proteins that can bind nickel, cobalt, and copper ions. IMAC is also used for isolating phosphorylated proteins and zinc finger or copper-binding proteins. MCLAB’s IMAC products are available in resins and cartridges forms containing nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) or iminodiacetic acid (IDA) as the chelating ligand loaded with a broad range of transition metals, including copper (Cu), nickel (Ni), zinc (Zn), cobalt (Co), iron (Fe), and gallium (Ga), aluminium (Al). |

Human Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT)
|
Human Nicotinamide Phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) catalyzes the condensation of nicotinamide with 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate to yield nicotinamide mononucleotide, one step in the biosynthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. The protein belongs to the nicotinic acid phosphoribosyltransferase (NAPRTase) family and is thought to be involved in many important biological processes, including metabolism, stress response and aging. This gene has a pseudogene on chromosome 10. |

MutS Protein (Thermus aquaticus)
|
The MutS DNA mismatch protein recognizes heteroduplex DNAs containing mispaired or unpaired bases. This Muts protein binds in vitro to heteroduplex DNAs containing mispaired or unpaired bases over a wide temperature range from 4 to 70 °C and has a thermostable ATPase activity. This thermostable Taq MutS is active at temperature between 0 to 75°C. Since Taq MutS efficiently binds to 1-4 bases deletion (or insertion) and mismatch base pairs of GT, CT and AG, it is useful for detecting these mutations. Mutations can be detected in polyacrylamide gels or on a solid phase such as Ni agarose or beads or magnetic Ni-NTA particles. |

Recombinant Human NGF R100W Mutant
|
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is important for the development and maintenance of the sympathetic and sensory nervous systems. NGF acts via at least two receptors on the surface of cells, TrkA and p75 receptors to regulate neuronal survival, promote neurite outgrowth, and up-regulate certain neuronal functions such as mediation of pain and inflammation. In addition to its neurotropic activities, studies indicated that NGF may also have an important role in the regulation of the immune system. NGF holds great therapeutic promise for Alzheimer's disease, diabetic neuropathies, ophthalmic diseases, and dermatological ulcers. However, the necessity for systemic delivery has hampered the clinical applications of NGF due to its potent pro-nociceptive action. A "painless" human NGF (hNGF R100W) mutant has been engineered. It has equal neurotrophic potency to hNGF but a lower nociceptive activity. |

RNase R
|
RNase R is an E. coli exoribonuclease which exhibits 3' to 5' exonuclease activity, efficiently digesting nearly all linear RNA species. This enzyme does not digest circular, lariat, or double stranded RNA with short 3 overhangs (less than seven nucleotides). RNase R is ideally suited to the study of lariat RNA produced by traditional splicing, as well as circRNAs which arise through back-splicing. By removing linear RNAs from cellular or RNA extracts, RNase R greatly facilitates the identification of circular species through RNA-sequencing. |
