Amphiregulin is a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family. It binds to several receptors including EGFR/ErbB1, HER2/ErbB2, HER3/ErbB3, and HER4/ErbB4, which activates Ras/Raf/MAPK and PI3K/AKT pathways. This results in cell proliferation, apoptosis resistance, and invasive behaviour (Normanno et al.). The expression of amphiregulin is induced by tissue injury and inflammation. Amphiregulin promotes mammary development, trophoblast growth, lung and kidney branching morphogenesis, and keratinocyte proliferation. It stimulates the growth of most cell types, including normal and transformed mammary epithelial cells, and malignant cells of the colon, prostate, cervix, and pancreas (Berasain and Avila).

Butyrophilin 1A1 (BTN1A1) is a glycoprotein belonging to the butyrophilin (BTN) family which collectively modulates immune responses, through excitatory and inhibitory signals targeting immune cells. Butyrophilins are composed of two extracellular immunoglobulin domains and a transmembrane region, with a conserved B30.2 domain (PRYSPRY) that is present in most members (Malinowska et al.). BTN1A1, along with BTN2A2, has been shown to inhibit the proliferation of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, modify T cell metabolism, and affect the expression of IL-2 and IFN-γ (Smith et al.). Due to these modulatory effects on T cells, BTN1A1 may have a role in inhibiting the development of autoimmune diseases (Stefferl et al.). BTN1A1 is also expressed in mammary glands and is required for the secretion of milk lipids during lactation (Ogg et al.). This protein contains a His-residue tag at the carboxyl end of the polypeptide chain. For consistency and reproducibility across your applications, Serpin A12 from STEMCELL comes lyophilized with ≥92% purity, and is verified by LAL analysis to ensure endotoxin levels are ≤1.0 EU/μg protein.

Insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF-II) is a polypeptide that belongs to the family of insulin-like growth factors that are similar in molecular structure to proinsulin. IGF-II binding to IGF-I receptor activates a signaling cascade via the MAPK and PI3K pathways. IGF-II affects growth, differentiation, and survival of cells in a variety of tissues during embryonic development. It stimulates proliferation and migration of primary lymphatic endothelial cells, and induces lymphangiogenesis (Guvakova).

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), like nerve growth factor (NGF), neurotrophin-3 (NT-3), and neurotrophin-4 (NT-4), is a member of the NGF family of neurotrophins, which are required for the differentiation and survival of specific neuronal subpopulations in both the central and the peripheral nervous systems (Minichiello and Klein; Minichiello et al.). BDNF binds with high affinity to the tropomyosin receptor kinase B (TrkB), and activates AKT and ERK pathways (Mattson et al.). It is expressed in the hippocampus, cortex, and synapses of the basal forebrain. BDNF acts as a survival factor for human embryonic stem cells when plated on either feeder cells or Corning® Matrigel® (Pyle et al.). BDNF regulates synaptic transmission and plasticity at adult synapses in the central nervous system, and contributes to adaptive neuronal responses including long-term potentiation, long-term depression, certain forms of short-term synaptic plasticity, and homeostatic regulation of neuronal excitability (Reichardt). It also has a role in neurogenesis by promoting survival and growth of dorsal root ganglion cells, and hippocampal and cortical neurons (Binder and Scharfman). BDNF, together with glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and other supplements, is commonly used to differentiate human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived neural progenitor cells into neurons (Brafman).

Interleukin 12 (IL-12p70) is a heterodimeric cytokine composed of p35 and p40 subunits. IL-12 is produced by monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, neutrophils, and B cells in response to bacterial products and cytokines such as IFN-γ. The IL-12 receptor is expressed on T, NK, and dendritic cells. Upon binding, IL-12 initiates signaling via the JAK/STAT signaling pathway and stimulates NK, B, and T cells to produce IFN-γ (Watford et al.). It also regulates cytokine synthesis, proliferation of T and NK cells, and stimulates differentiation of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells (Germann and Rüde). Mice that are deficient in IL-12 are susceptible to many intracellular pathogens and have impaired IFN-γ secretion, Th1 differentiation, and NK cytolytic activity; however, Th2 development and IL-4 production are enhanced (Watford et al.).

A cytokine belonging to the type 1 interferon family, Interferon beta (IFN beta) binds IFN alpha/beta receptors (IFNAR) that activate tyrosine kinases and initiate the interferon-induced Jak-STAT signaling pathway, which modulates many key immune processes (Smieja et al.). In an experimental model involving cardiac fibroblasts isolated from rats, IFN beta was found to induce both pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines production by activating different STAT proteins (Bolivar et al.). The anti-inflammatory effects of IFN beta have been studied in the context of autoimmune disorders, and there are currently multiple approved IFN beta drugs for treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (Filipi and Jack). IFN beta is produced by immune cells, including macrophages, and non-immune cells, such as fibroblasts and epithelial cells (Ivashkiv and Donalin). The crystal structure of IFN beta shares characteristics with other type I interferons. It comprises five alpha-helices with four of them forming a helix bundle, and one long and three shorter loops connecting the helices (Karpusas et al.). For consistency and reproducibility across your applications, interferon alpha 1 from STEMCELL comes lyophilized with ≥ 87% purity, specific activity EC50 ≤18 pg/mL, and LAL analysis verification ensuring endotoxin levels are ≤1.0 EU/μg protein.

Macrophage inflammatory protein-4 (MIP-4) plays a role in adaptive and innate immune responses, acting as a chemoattractant for T and B lymphocytes, and natural killer cells (Krohn et al.). MIP-4 can also induce immune tolerance through its effects on dendritic cells and macrophages (Azzaoui et al., Schraufstatter et al.). In breast cancer, MIP-4 has been shown to promote the invasiveness and metastasis of cancer cells in vivo by binding PITPNM3 (Chen et al.).This small cytokine belongs to the chemokine family found only in primates. Based on amino acid sequence, MIP-4 is closely related to MIP-1 alpha (CCL3) and MIP-1 beta (CCL4) (Liang et al.). MIP-4 is produced by antigen-presenting immune cells including dendritic cells, macrophages, and monocytes (Lieshout et al.). For consistency and reproducibility across your applications, macrophage inflammatory protein-4 from STEMCELL comes lyophilized with ≥95% purity, and is verified by LAL analysis to ensure endotoxin levels are ≤1.0 EU/μg protein.

Use resistin to modulate various cellular responses, such as promoting neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation (Jiang et al.) and regulating anti-inflammatory signaling pathways through toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) (Jang et al., 2017). A member of the resistin-like molecule (RELM) family, resistin is produced by adipocytes in mice, and has been implicated in insulin resistance, reducing glucose tolerance, and insulin sensitivity in vivo (Li et al.). In humans, resistin is expressed predominantly in leukocytes, modulating inflammation in numerous diseases (Jamaluddin et al.; Jang et al., 2015; Mantula et al.). Studies also show that resistin facilitates vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-A-dependent angiogenesis in human chondrosarcoma cells, highlighting it as a promising target for chondrosarcoma angiogenesis (Chen et al.). For consistency and reproducibility across your applications, resistin from STEMCELL comes lyophilized with ≥ 95% purity, and endotoxin levels are verified to be ≤1.0 EU/μg protein.

A member of the pentraxin family of proteins, C-reactive protein (CRP) plays important roles in host defenses, including regulating complement activation in vivo (Sjoberg et al.), decreasing nitric oxide production, and inhibiting angiogenesis in vitro (Verma et al., 2002). At specific concentrations, CRP directly inhibits endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) differentiation, survival, and function, and is thus implicated in the development of cardiovascular diseases (Verma et al., 2004). CRP is primarily synthesized by liver hepatocytes, but also by other immune cells, such as macrophages and lymphocytes (Sproston and Ashworth). The expression of this acute-phase protein is induced by IL-6 and IL-1 secretion of macrophages and T-cells during inflammation. For consistency and reproducibility across your applications, C-reactive protein from STEMCELL comes lyophilized with ≥ 87% purity, and endotoxin levels are verified to be ≤1.0 EU/μg protein.
