Anti-ANGPTL4 Mouse Monoclonal Antibody [clone: Kairos-1]
Supplier: Prosci
ANGPTL4 mainly expressed in endothelial cells (hypoxia-induced). Regulates angiogenesis and modulates tumorgenesis and directly regulates lipid, glucose, and energy metabolism. Inhibits proliferation, migration, and tubule formation of endothelial cells and reduces vascular leakage. ANGPTL4 is a protein consisting of an N-terminal coiled-coil domain and a C-terminal fibrinogen-like domain (FLD). Both domains have distinct biological functions. The coiled-coil domain is responsible for the inhibitory effects on lipoprotein lipase (LPL) converting the active form of LPL into an inactive form, and the FLD domain mediates its antiangiogenic functions. The coiled coil and the FLD domains are separated by a short linker that can be cleaved after secretion. ANGPTL4 appears on the cell surface as the full-length form, where it can be released by heparin treatment. ANGPTL4 protein is then proteolytically cleaved by proprotein convertases (PCs), including furin, PC5/6, paired basic amino acid-cleaving enzyme 4, and PC7.

Anti-MUC16 Mouse Monoclonal Antibody [clone: 5E11.]
Supplier: Prosci
The mucins are a family of highly glycosylated, secreted proteins with a basic structure consisting of a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTRs). Membrane-associated and secretory mucins are high molecular weight glycoproteins of the glycocalyx (polysaccharide biofilm) that protects mucosal epithelium from particulate matter and microorganisms. Epithelial mucins are large, secreted and cell surface glycoproteins crucial for adhesion modulation, signaling and epithelial cell protection. The number of repeats is highly polymorphic and varies among different alleles. The Mucin family consists of Mucins 1-4, Mucin 5 (AC and B), 6-8, 11-13 and 15-17. The Mucin 16 protein (also commonly referred to as CA125), encoded for by the gene MUC16, is a very high molecular weight tumor antigen consisting of three domains: a carboxy terminal domain, an extracellular domain and an amino terminal domain. Mucin 16, an ovarian cancer-associated antigen, is used as a marker to monitor the progress of epithelial ovarian cancer.

Anti-ESR2 Mouse Monoclonal Antibody [clone: ERb455]
Supplier: Prosci
Estrogen receptors (ER) are members of the steroid/thyroid hormone receptor superfamily of ligand-activated transcription factors. Estrogen receptors, including alpha and beta, contain DNA binding and ligand binding domains and are critically involved in regulating the normal function of reproductive tissues. They are located in the nucleus, though some estrogen receptors associate with the cell surface membrane and can be rapidly activated by exposure of cells to estrogen. ER alpha and beta are differentially activated by various ligands. Ligand interaction triggers a cascade of events, including dissociation from heat shock proteins, recepter dimerization, phosphorylation and the association of the hormone activated receptor with specific regulatory elements in target genes. Evidence suggests that ER alpha and beta may be regulated by distinct mechanisms even though they share many functional characteristics.

CBL0137 HCl
Supplier: Aladdin Scientific
CBL0137 HCl CBL0137 (CBLC137, Curaxin 137) HCl activates p53 and inhibits NF-kB with EC50 s of 0.37 μM and 0.47 μM in the cell-based p53 and NF-kB reporter assays, respectively. It also inhibits histone chaperone FACT (facilitates chromatin transcription complex). TargetsFACT ; p53 (Cell-free assay); NF-κB (Cell-free assay) ; 0.37 μM(EC50); 0.47 μM(EC50)In vitroCBL0137 is a potent inducer of apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cell lines and is toxic not only for proliferating bulk tumor cells, but also for pancreatic cancer stem cells. CBL0137 and related molecules can simultaneously activate p53 and inhibit cellular stress pathways mediated by NF-κB and HSF-1. CBL0137 binds DNA but does not cause any sort of chemical modifications in DNA and therefore lacks genotoxicity. However, CBL0137 binding to DNA leads to functional inactivation of the Facilitates Chromatin Transcription (FACT) complex, a chromatin remodeling complex involved in transcription, replication, and DNA repair. In CBL0137-treated cells, FACT is lost from the nucleoplasm and trapped in chromatin, resulting in the inhibition of FACT-dependent transcription, including NF-kB-mediated transcription.

ARS-853
Supplier: Aladdin Scientific
ARS-853 (ARS853) ARS-853 is a selective, covalent KRAS(G12C) inhibitor that inhibits mutant KRAS-driven signaling by binding to the GDP-bound oncoprotein and preventing activation. ARS-853 also induces apoptosis .Targets K-Ras(G12C) (in H358 cells) 2.5 μM In vitro ARS-853 treatment of KRASG12C cells led to a dose-dependent and nearly complete inhibition of CRAF-RBD (RBD)-mediated pulldown of KRAS from lysates, with an IC50 of approximately 1 μmol/L. Treatment of H358 cells by ARS-853 resulted in a significant loss of KRAS–CRAF interactions. Consistent with an inactive state of KRASG12C once bound to ARS-853, downstream signaling through both MAPK (including pMEK, pERK, and pRSK) and PI3K signaling (pAKT) pathways was inhibited by ARS-853 in H358 and other KRASG12C cell lines. The inhibition of RAF-RBD pulldown and KRAS downstream signaling was sustained over a period of 72 hours, accompanied by G1 cell-cycle arrest, loss of Cyclin D1 and Rb expression, and an increase in the cell-cycle inhibitor p27 KIP1.

Anti-AQP7 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody
Supplier: Genetex
Water is a critical component of all living cells. Interestingly, tissue membranes show a great degree of water permeability. Mammalian red cells, renal proximal tubules, and descending thin limb of Henle are extraordinarily permeable to water. Water crosses hydrophobic plasma membranes either by simple diffusion or through a facilitative transport mechanism mediated by special protein ""aquaporin"". Over the last decade, genes for several members of aquaporin family have been cloned, expressed, and their distribution studied in many tissues. AQP0 or MIP26 (major intrinsic protein 26kD), and Aquaporin-1 (AQP1, purified from red cells) also called CHIP-28 (channel forming integral protein, 28kD; 268aa; gene locus 7p14) has been the foundation of the growing family of aquaporin. The lens specific AQP0 represents up to 80% of total lens membrane protein. Defects in MIP26 are cause of autosomal dominant cataract. The cataract Fraser mutation (CAT-FR or Shriveled) is a transposon-induced splicing error that substitutes a long terminal repeat sequence for the c-terminus of MIP. The lens opacity mutation (LOP) is an amino acid substitution that inhibits targeting of MIP to the cell membrane.

Anti-VASP Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody
Supplier: Prosci
VASP (vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein) is a proline-rich protein substrate of cAMP- and cGMP-dependent protein kinases. VASP is an actin-associated protein involved in a range of processes dependent on cytoskeleton remodeling and cell polarity such as axon guidance, lamellipodial and filopodial dynamics, platelet activation and cell migration. VASP promotes actin filament elongation. It protects the barbed end of growing actin filaments against capping and increases the rate of actin polymerization in the presence of capping proteins. VASP stimulates actin filament elongation by promoting the transfer of profilin-bound actin monomers onto the barbed end of growing actin filaments and it plays a role in actin-based mobility of Listeria monocytogenes in host cells. It regulates actin dynamics in platelets and plays an important role in regulating platelet aggregation. VASP phosphorylation is used to monitor the effect of so-called antiplatelet drugs that reduce platelet reactivity and are used to prevent stent thrombosis, strokes and heart attacks in patients. Phosphorylation of VASP at Ser157 causes a mobility shift in SDS gel electrophoresis from 46 to 50kDa, which has been used as a convenient marker to monitor cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinase activity.

Flavobacterium meningosepticum PNGase F PRIME Glycosidase (from E. coli)
Supplier: Bulldog Bio
PNGase F PRIME is a mutant recombinant PNGase F cloned from Flavobacterium meningosepticum and expressed and purified from E. coli. The proprietary changes made to PNGase F have been shown to have unique characteristics when compared to other commercially-available sources of PNGase F. Data generated by independent labs shows that PRIME works on native glycoproteins and serum glycoproteins in minutes at room temperature. Glycan analysis of the digestion products shows that PNGase F PRIME digestion led to more complete glycan release and also allowed for the cleavage of glycans not released by the commercially-available enzymes when used at the same concentrations with the same digestion conditions. This advancement benefits applications that seek to understand glycobiology in a natural milieu. Preliminary data indicates that PNGase F PRIME has a higher specificity towards complex (tri and tetra-antennary) sialylated structures compared to the commercially sourced enzyme. Additionally, the work presented in this Analytical Chemistry paper utilized PNGase F PRIME for all in situ tissue work as the commercially-available PNGase enzymes did not work on native tissue to allow glycan recognition.

Anti-PFN1 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody
Supplier: Prosci
Profilin (PFN1) is a ubiquitous small (12-15kDa) phosphoinositide and poly-L-proline binding protein that plays a role in signal transduction pathways and actin filament dynamics. There are two mammalian profilins with similar biochemical properties. Whereas profilin I appears to be highly expressed in most tissues except for skeletal muscle, profilin II is predominantly expressed in brain and at lower levels also in skeletal muscle, uterus and kidney. Profilin is a mainly cytosolic protein with higher concentrations in dynamic membrane areas like the leading edge and ruffling membranes. Profilin binding to PIP2 interferes with PIP2 hydrolysis by soluble phospholipase C-gamma, an inhibition that can be overcome by tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma. Besides actin monomer sequestration and stimulation of actin nucleotide exchange, profilin can also promote cellular actin filament growth. Profilin is involved in the actin dependent intracellular motility of cytopathogenic bacteria, the regulation of cell adhesion and possibly also in linking the actin cytoskeleton and endocytosis. Profilin has been found to associate with defined complexes containing proteins such as Arp2/3 or the Rho/Rac pathways constituents ROCK-II and HEM2/NAP1. Defects in PFN1 are the cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis 18 (ALS18).

Anti-POLY Mouse Monoclonal Antibody [clone: 10H]
Supplier: Prosci
Processes such as transcription, repair and replication that require efficient DNA recognition are dependent on modulation of chromatin structure. Chromatin relaxation is a critical event that occurs during DNA repair and is associated with the negatively charged polymer of adenosine 5'-diphosphate (ADP)-ribose (PAR). PAR is synthesized from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) by the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase protein family (PARPs), of which PARP-1 (and to a lesser extent PARP-2) respond to DNA-strand breaks. PARP-1 is selectively activated by DNA strand breaks to catalyze the addition of long branched chains of PAR to a variety of nuclear proteins, most notably PARP itself. The amount of PAR formed in living cells with DNA damage is commensurate with the extent of the damage. Under DNA damage conditions, PAR undergoes a rapid turnover, with a half-life in the range of minutes, as PAR is rapidly hydrolyzed and converted to free ADP-ribose by the enzyme poly(ADP-ribose)glycohydrolase (PARG). PAR regulates not only cell survival and cell-death programmes, but also an increasing number of other biological functions with which novel members of the PARP family have been associated. These include transcriptional regulation, cell division, intracellular trafficking, inflammation and energy metabolism.

Anti-LNC1 Mouse Monoclonal Antibody [clone: LNC 1; LNC1;LNC-1]
Supplier: Biosensis
Tyrosine hydroxylase is an excellent marker for dopaminergic and noradrenergic neurons. Tyrosine hydroxylase (a.k.a. tyrosine 3-monooxygenase) is the enzyme responsible for catalyzing the conversion of the amino acid L-tyrosine to L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA). L-DOPA is a precursor for dopamine, which, in turn, is a precursor for the important neurotransmitters norepinephrine (noradrenaline) and epinephrine (adrenaline). Tyrosine hydroxylase catalyzes the rate limiting step in this synthesis of catecholamines. In humans, tyrosine hydroxylase is encoded by the TH gene, and the enzyme is present in the central nervous system (CNS), peripheral symphatic neurons and the adrenal medulla. The enzymatic activity of TH requires ferrous ions as cofactors and is believed to be regulated by phosphorylation. At least four isoforms of human TH have been identified which result from alternative splicing. Tyrosine hydroxylase, phenylalanine hydroxylase and tryptophan hydroxylase together make up the family of aromatic amino acid hydroxylases (AAAHs). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrosine_hydroxylase
