Arg-Gly-Asp-Ser is an integrin-binding sequence that inhibits integrin receptor function. It decreases systemic inflammation via inhibition of collagen-triggered activation of leukocytes and attenuates expression of inflammatory cytokines, MMP-9, and iNOS
Pro-Adrenomedullin(153-185),human, (C143H224N42O43), a peptide with the sequence H2N-SLPEAGPGRTLVSSKPQAHGAPAPPSGSAPHFL-OH, MW= 3219.6. Adrenomedullin (AM) is a ubiquitously expressed peptide initially isolated from phaechromyctoma in 19931. AM was initially identified as a vasodilator, some have cited this as the most potent endogenous vasodilatory peptide found in the body2. Differences in opinion regarding the ability of AM to relax vascular tone arises from the differences in the model system used3. Other effects of AM include increasing the tolerance of cells to oxidative stress and hypoxic injury and angiogenesis. AM is seen as a positive influence in diseases such as hypertension, myocardial infarction, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other cardiovascular diseases, whereas it can be seen as a negative factor in potentiating the potential of cancerous cells to extend their blood supply and cause cell proliferation.
Ac-RGK(Ac)-AMC, fluorogenic substrate for assaying histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity in a two-step enzymatic reaction. The assay consists of the initial lysine deacetylation by HDAC followed by the release of the fluorescent group by trypsin.
Z-Gly-Gly-Arg-AMC is a specific fluorogenic substrate utilized for assessing thrombin generation in Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and Platelet-Poor Plasma (PPP), with a particular focus on thrombin activity.
Z-Gly-Gly-Arg-AMC acetate is a thrombase-specific fluorescent matrix used to detect thrombin production in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and poor platelet plasma (PPP).
Tos-Gly-Pro-Arg-ANBA-IPA, a chromogenic peptide substrate, is utilized for the rapid and specific photometric assay of recombinant hirudin (r-hirudin).
Arg-Gly-Asp-Cys TFA serves as the binding motif through which fibronectin interacts with cell adhesion molecules. This compound has the ability to hinder platelet aggregation and fibrinogen binding.
