NDST1 is an essential bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes both the N-deacetylation and the N-sulfation of glucosamine (GlcNAc) of the glycosaminoglycan in heparan sulfate. Modifies the GlcNAc-GlcA dissacharide repeating sugar backbone to make N-sulfated heparosan, a prerequisite substrate for later modifications in heparin biosynthesis. Plays a role in determining the extent and pattern of sulfation of heparan sulfate. Compared to other NDST enzymes, its presence is absolutely required. Participates in biosynthesis of heparan sulfate that can ultimately serve as L-selectin ligands, thereby playing a role in inflammatory response.

SESTD1 was initially identified in mutant zebrafish with defects in the spontaneous contraction and touch response as a novel gene, solo, encoding a protein containing SEC14 and spectrin repeat domains. Other experiments indicated that SESTD1 interacts with the TRPC4 and TRPC5, members of the transient receptor potential channel family, via the TRPC calmodulin- and inositol 1, 4, 5-triphosphate receptor-binding domain and is essential for efficient receptor-mediated activation of TRPC5, suggesting that SESTD1 is a novel regulator of these TRPC proteins.

T-cell factor (TCF-1) and lymphoid enhancer-binding factor (for LEF-1, also designated TCF-1?) compose a family of DNA-binding transcriptional activators that are essential for lymphoid cell development. These transcription factors are activated by the Wnt-1 and Wingless pathways and are characterized by the presence of a conserved protein motif, the high mobility group (HMG) 1 box, which mediates DNA binding. LEF-1, TCF-1, and two other family members, TCF-3 and TCF-4, directly bind to cytosolic beta-catenin and facilitate its translocation to the nucleus, where these complexes induce expression of Wnt target genes.

Thyroid stimulating hormone, also known as thyrotropin, is secreted from cells in the anterior pituitary called thyrotrophs, finds its receptors on epithelial cells in the thyroid gland, and stimulates that gland to synthesize and release thyroid hormones. TSH is a glycoprotein hormone composed of two subunits which are non covalently bound to one another. The alpha subunit of TSH is also present in two other pituitary glycoprotein hormones, follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone, and, in primates, in the placental hormone chorionic gonadotropin. Each of these hormones also has a unique beta subunit, which provides receptor specificity. In other words, TSH is composed of alpha subunit bound to the TSH beta subunit, and TSH associates only with its own receptor. Free alpha and beta subunits have essentially no biological activity.

ZNF687 Antibody: The zinc finger protein 687 (ZNF687) was initially identified as a translocation partner gene with RUNX1 in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Little is known of the function of the ZNF687 protein, but it has been shown to weakly interact with the Ring1/Rnf2 RING finger protein member of the Polycomb group of proteins, suggesting it may be involved in the chromatin-modifying complexes essential for embryonic development and stem cell renewal. Other evidence suggests that ZNF687 may be part of a transcriptional network that also includes ZNF592 and ZMYMD8.

HMGB1 was originally discovered as an essential DNA-binding protein for regulating p53, NF-kappaB and other important proteins. It is secreted from activated dentric cells, macrophage and nectrotic cells, and acts as a ligand for RAGE, TLR-2 and TLR-4 expressed on surrounding cells. As a result, HMGB1 activates Rac, CDC42 and NF-kappaB inducing localized innate immunity of damaged tissue, tissue regeneration by recruitment of stem cells and hemostasis by induction of tissue factor expression. HMGB1 is also causative agent of various diseases as it causes localized inflammation such as arteriosclerosis, chronic rheumatoid arthritis and nephritis.

H2BFWT (H2B histone family member W testis-specific) is a 175 amino acid nuclear membrane histone that belongs to the histone H2B family. In contrast to most H2B histones, H2BFWT does not contain the conserved C-terminal residue involved in monoubiquitination, but is structurally indistinguishable from conventional H2B histones. Also varying from other H2B histones, H2BFWT does not participate in the recruitment of chromosome condensation factors or in the assembly of mitotic chromsomes. Expressed in testis, H2BFWT is present in sperm cells and may be essential to telomere function.

IKK alpha Antibody: Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kappa B) is a ubiquitous transcription factor and an essential mediator of gene expression during activation of immune and inflammatory responses. NF-kappa B mediates the expression of a great variety of genes in response to extracellular stimuli including IL-1, TNFa, and bacteria product LPS. NF-kappa B is associated with I kappa B proteins in the cell cytoplasm, which inhibit NF-kappa B activity. The long-sought I kappa B kinase (IKK), which phosphorylates I kappa B, and mediates I kappa B degradation and NF-kappa B activation, was recently identified by several laboratories. IKK is a serine protein kinase, and the IKK complex contains alpha and beta subunits (IKK alpha and IKK beta ). IKK alpha and IKK beta interact with each other and both are essential for the NF-kappa B activation. IKK alpha specifically phosphorylates IkB-alpha. IKK alpha is expressed in variety of human tissues.
