Hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) catalyzes the hydrolysis of tri-, di-, and monoacylglycerols, as well as cholesterol esters and thus mobilizes fatty acid and provides a primary source of energy in mammals. The enzyme is highly expressed in adipose tissue and steroidogenic tissues, and less abundantly in skeletal...

Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) exerts its activity by binding to five distinct G-protein-coupled receptors, S1P1/EDG-1, S1P2/EDG-5, S1P3/EDG-3, S1P4/EDG-6, and S1P5/EDG-8. S1P3 couples to Gi/o-ERK, Gq-PLC, and G12/13-Rho axes to mediate S1P-induced cell proliferation, survival, migration, and related signaling...

To be used in conjunction with Cayman's HSL Polyclonal Antibody (Cay-10006371) to block protein-antibody complex formation during immunochemical analysis of HSL Hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) catalyzes the hydrolysis of tri-, di-, and monoacylglycerols, as well as cholesterol esters and thus mobilizes fatty acid and...

Ghrelin, an endogenous ligand for the growth hormone secretagogue receptor, is synthesized principally in the stomach. It stimulates food intake and transduces signals to hypothalamic regulatory nuclei that control energy homeostasis. The peptide consists of 28 amino acids, with an octanoylation of the serine-3...

Mifepristone is an antagonist of glucocorticoid, progesterone, and androgen receptors (Kis = 0.1, 0.64, and 0.65 nM, respectively). It is selective for these receptors over the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), estrogen receptor alpha (ERalpha), and ERbeta (Kis = 640, >200, and >750 nM, respectively). In cell-based...
