Human Recombinant PAD6 (from Baculovirus)

Supplier: Cayman Chemical

Protein arginine deiminase 6 (PAD6) is a homodimeric guanidine-modifying enzyme belonging to the amidinotransferase superfamily. It is a calcium-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the post-translational modification of target proteins by converting arginine to citrulline. PAD6 is expressed in mammalian oocytes, sperm cells, and early embryos. In mammalian oocytes and early embryo cytoplasm, its expression is localized to cytoskeletal sheets, dynamic structures containing various keratins, which are major targets for citrullination. PAD6-/- oocytes exhibit reduced microtubule acetylation and defective organelle positioning and redistribution, suggesting a role for PAD6 in regulating microtubule-mediated organelle movement and positioning. PAD6-/- female, but not male, mice are infertile due to a reduction of de novo protein synthesis, cytoskeletal sheet formation, and ribosomal RNA which induces arrest of zygote development at the two-cell stage. PAD6 is regulated by newborn ovary homeobox (Nobox), as its promoter contains a Nobox DNA-binding element (NBE) and expression and activity of PAD6 are decreased in Nobox-/- mouse ovaries.5 In human females, homozygous nonsense mutations and compound-heterozygous mutations in PAD6 induce early embryonic arrest following in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

Human recombinant B3GNT1 (from Cells)

Supplier: ProSci Inc.

N-Acetyllactosaminide beta -1,3-N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase (B3GNT1) is a member of the beta -1,3-N-Acetylglucosaminyltransferase family. B3GNT1 is a single-pass type II membrane protein and widely expressed in many tissues. B3GNT1 can initiate the synthesis or the elongation of the linear poly-N-acetyllactosaminoglycans. B3GNT1 is essential for the synthesis of poly-N-acetyllactosamine, a determinant for the blood group i antigen. It can initiate the synthesis or the elongation of the linear poly-N-acetyllactosaminoglycans.

Anti-GALNT13 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (Cy5®)

Supplier: Bioss

The UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-galactosamine:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase (GalNAc-T) family of enzymes are substrate-specific proteins that catalyze the transfer of GalNAc (N-acetylgalactosamine) to serine and threonine residues onto various proteins, thereby initiating mucin-type O-linked glycosylation in the Golgi apparatus. GalNAc-T13 (Polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 13), also known as UDP-GalNAc:polypeptide N-acetylgalactosaminyltransferase 13, is a 556 amino acid protein that displays much stronger enzymatic activity than GalNAc-1 towards GalNAc transfer to mucin peptides such as Muc5a and Muc7. The N-terminal domain is involved in substrate binding and manganese coordination, while the C-terminal domain is involved in UDP-Gal binding and catalytic reaction. With specific expression in the central nervous system, GalNAc-T13 may be responsible for the synthesis of Tn antigen in neuronal cells, which is a universal carcinoma marker on malignant cells.

Anti-GNRH2 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (Cy3®)

Supplier: Bioss

Human reproduction is controlled by the hypothalaic-pituitary gonadal axis laid down early in fetal development. Gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH), also known as GnRH-associated peptide, luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH), luliberin or gonadorelin, is a decapeptide that is an important molecule in the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis control circuit. GnRH is produced by hypothalamic neurons and secreted in a pulsatile manner into the capillary plexus of the medianeminence. GnRH affects the release of lutenizing hormone and follicle stimulating hormone from gonadotropic cells in the anterior pituitary. In addition to hypothalamic GnRH (GnRH I), a second GnRH form (GnRH II) functions primarily in the midbrain. GnRH is expressed in the acrosomal region of human sperm and in the anterior pituitary tissue and cancer cells. Unlike GnRH I, GnRH II is highly expressed outside the brain, particularly in the kidney, bone marrow and prostate, suggesting that it may have multiple functions. GnRH binds to a specific G protein-coupled receptor in the pituitary to regulate synthesis and secretion of gonadotropins.

Anti-APOL1/Apolipoprotein L Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (Alexa Fluor® 680)

Supplier: Bioss

Apolipoproteins are protein components of plasma lipoproteins. The apolipoprotein L gene family encodes six highly homologous proteins designated apoL-I to -VI, which are associated with large high density type lipoproteins (HDL). The human apoL family maps to chromosome 22q12.1-13.1 within a 127,000-bp region. ApoL has been characterised as a pancreas specific, 383-amino acid protein that contains a 12-amino acid secretory signal peptide. The apoL genes have TATA-less promoters and contain putative sterol regulatory elements, suggesting that transcription of these genes may be coordinated with that of the low density lipoprotein receptor and genes in pathways involving the synthesis of triglycerides and cholesterol. ApoL homologs can undergo 10 fold changes in expression during atherosclerotic changes in vascular endothelial cells, which includes the inflammatory reaction of atherosclerotic lesions.

Human recombinant IL17 (from E. coli)

Supplier: ProSci Inc.

Interleukin-17 is a potent pro-inflammatory cytokine produced by activated memory T cells. There are at least six members of the IL-17 family in humans and in mice. As IL-17 shares properties with IL-1 and TNF-alpha, it may induce joint inflammation and bone and cartilage destruction. This cytokine is found in synovial fluids of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and produced by rheumatoid arthritis synovium. It increases IL-6 production, induces collagen degradation and decreases collagen synthesis by synovium and cartilage and proteoglycan synthesis in cartilage. IL-17 is also able to increase bone destruction and reduce its formation. Blocking of interleukin-17 with specific inhibitors provides a protective inhibition of cartilage and bone degradation.
