Anti-BNIP3 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (Alexa Fluor® 488)

Supplier: Bioss

The adenovirus E1B protein is a viral homolog of the Bcl-2 family of proteins that are involved in regulating cell death. A family of interacting proteins, which are designated Nip or Bnip and include BNIP-1, BNIP-2, BNIP-3 and Nix, associate with both the E1B protein and Bcl-2 proteins to mediate apoptotic signaling. BNIP-1 contains a hydrophobic transmembrane domain, which enables its localization to the nuclear envelope, endoplasmic recticulum and mitochondria. BNIP-2, (previously designated Nip2 and Nip21 in human and mouse respectively), shares homology with the non-catalytic domain of Cdc42 GTPase-activating protein (Cdc42GAP). Through binding to Cdc42GAP, BNIP-2 enhances the GTPase activity of Cdc42GAP, facilitating the hydrolysis of GTP bound to Cdc42 and thereby, mediating the signaling pathways involving receptor kinases, small GTPases and apoptotic proteins. Nix, which is also designated Nip3L or Bnip3L, is highly related to BNIP-3, and both proteins localize to the mitochondria where they associate with Bcl-2 proteins. BNIP-3 preferentially binds to Bcl-xL and induces apoptosis by suppressing the anti-apoptosis activity of Bcl-xL.

Anti-Centromeric Histone H3-like Protein-2 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (Alexa Fluor® 680)

Supplier: Bioss

Histones are highly conserved proteins that serve as the structural scaffold for the organization of nuclear DNA into chromatin. The four core histones, H2A, H2B, H3, and H4, assemble into an octamer (2 molecules of each). Subsequently, 146 base pairs of DNA are wrapped around the octamer, forming a nucleosome, the basic subunit of chromatin. Histone modifications regulate DNA transcription, repair, recombination, and replication. The most commonly studied modifications are acetylation, phosphorylation, methylation, and ubiquitination. These modifications can alter local chromatin architecture, or recruit trans-acting factors that recognise specific histone modifications (the 'histone code' hypothesis). Trimethylation of histone H3 on Lys9 (H3K9me3) is one of the most highly studied epigenetic marks. H3K9me3 functions in the repression of euchromatic genes, and in epigenetic control of heterochromatin assembly, most likely via acting as a recognition motif for the binding of chromatin-associated proteins, such as Swi6 or HP1Alpha/Beta. The enzymes responsible for H3K9me3 formation are SUV39H1 and SUV39H2.

Accessories for Ultra-centrifugal mill, ZM 200

Accessories for Ultra-centrifugal mill, ZM 200

Supplier: Retsch GmbH

The ZM 200 is a powerful ultra-centrifugal mill for both demanding grinding tasks and efficient routine work. ZM 200 reduces the size of soft to medium-hard and fibrous materials. Ideal for rapid yet gentle preparation of analytical samples of materials such as chemicals, drugs, spices, coal, synthetic resins, plastics, pharmaceutical raw materials and finished products, plant constituents and surfactant determination in washing powders. For grinding larger amounts the use of a paper filter bag or a cyclone with 3 or 5 litre collecting receptacle is recommended. The sample is then cooled by the airstream and discharged more rapidly from the grinding chamber via the passage receptacle.

Anti-CCDC19 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Supplier: Bioss

CCDC19 is a 466 amino acid protein encoded by a gene mapping to human chromosome 1. Chromosome 1 is the largest human chromosome, spanning about 260 million base pairs and making up 8% of the human genome. There are about 3,000 genes on chromosome 1 and, considering the great number of genes, there are also a large number of diseases associated with chromosome 1. Notably, the rare aging disease Hutchinson-Gilford progeria is associated with the LMNA gene which encodes Lamin A. When defective, the LMNA gene product can build up in the nucleus and cause characteristic nuclear blebs. The mechanism of rapidly enhanced aging is unclear and is a topic of continuing exploration. The MUTYH gene is located on chromosome 1 and is partially responsible for familial adenomatous polyposis. Stickler syndrome, Parkinson’s, Gaucher disease and Usher syndrome are also associated with chromosome 1. A breakpoint has been identified in 1q which disrupts the DISC1 gene and is linked to schizophrenia. Aberrations in chromosome 1 are found in a variety of cancers including head and neck cancer, malignant melanoma and multiple myeloma.

Anti-FAM19A3 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Anti-FAM19A3 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Supplier: ProSci Inc.

FAM19A3 is a member of the TAFA family which is composed of five highly homologous small secreted proteins. These proteins contain conserved cysteine residues at fixed positions, and are distantly related to MIP-1alpha, a member of the CC-chemokine family. The TAFA proteins are predominantly expressed in specific regions of the brain, and are postulated to function as brain-specific chemokines or neurokines, that act as regulators of immune and nervous cells.This gene is a member of the TAFA family which is composed of five highly homologous genes that encode small secreted proteins.

Anti-PRPF19 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Anti-PRPF19 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Supplier: ProSci Inc.

PRPF19 plays a role in DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair and pre-mRNA splicing reaction. It binds double-stranded DNA in a sequence-nonspecific manner. PRPF19 acts as a structural component of the nuclear framework. It may also serve as a support for spliceosome binding and activity. It is essential for spliceosome assembly in a oligomerization-dependent manner and might also be important for spliceosome stability. It also may have E3 ubiquitin ligase activity. The PSO4 complex is required in the DNA interstrand cross-links (ICLs) repair process. Overexpression of PRPF19 might extend the cellular life span by increasing the resistance to stress or by improving the DNA repair capacity of the cells.In S. cerevisiae, Pso4 has pleiotropic functions in DNA recombination and in error-prone nonhomologous end-joining DNA repair.

Anti-HCST Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody (FITC)

Supplier: Bioss

Transmembrane adapter protein which associates with KLRK1 to form an activation receptor KLRK1-HCST in lymphoid and myeloid cells; this receptor plays a major role in triggering cytotoxicity against target cells expressing cell surface ligands such as MHC class I chain-related MICA and MICB, and UL16-binding proteins (ULBPs); these ligands are up-regulated by stress conditions and pathological state such as viral infection and tumor transformation. Functions as docking site for PI3-kinase PIK3R1 and GRB2. Interaction of ULBPs with KLRK1-HCST triggers calcium mobilisation and activation of the PIK3R1, MAP2K/ERK, and JAK2/STAT5 signaling pathways. Both PIK3R1 and GRB2 are required for full KLRK1-HCST-mediated activation and ultimate killing of target cells. In NK cells, KLRK1-HCST signaling directly induces cytotoxicity and enhances cytokine production initiated via DAP12/TYROBP-associated receptors. In T-cells, it provides primarily costimulation for TCR-induced signals. KLRK1-HCST receptor plays a role in immune surveillance against tumors and is required for cytolysis of tumors cells; indeed, melanoma cells that do not express KLRK1 ligands escape from immune surveillance mediated by NK cells.
