Tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) catalyzes the 5-hydroxylation of tryptophan, which is the first step in the biosynthesis of indoleamines (serotonin and melatonin). In mammals, serotonin biosynthesis occurs predominantly in neurons which originate in the Raphe nuclei of the brain, and melatonin synthesis takes place...

Fatty acid binding protein-2 (FABP2) is one of nine known cytosolic FABPs ranging in size from 14-15 kDa containing 127-132 amino acids. Members of this protein family exhibit high affinity for small lipophilic ligands and were named according to the tissue from which they were initially isolated. Studies suggest...

17-phenyl trinor 8-iso Prostaglandin E2 (17-phenyl trinor 8-iso PGE2) is the C-8 epimer of 17-phenyl trinor PGE2, a synthetic analog of PGE2. 17-phenyl trinor PGE2 is an EP1 and EP3 receptor agonist that causes contraction of the guinea pig ileum at a concentration of 11 µM. There are no published studies of the...

Numerous analogs of fatty acyl ethanolamides potentiate the intrinsic biological activity of endocannabinoids. This potentiation is ascribed either to inhibition of AEA reuptake into neurons, or inhibition of fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) within the neurons. However, Ueda has recently cloned another amidase,...

Phospholipase C (PLC) catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol (4,5) bisphosphate (PIP2) on the cytoplasmic side of the cell membrane to yield diacylglycerol and inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate (IP3). This reaction initiates a well-known signal transduction pathway common to most cells. PLC thio-PIP2 is an...

FR122047 is a selective inhibitor of COX-1. The IC50 values for inhibition of human COX-1 and COX-2 are 0.028 and 65 µM, respectively. In human platelet-rich plasma, FR122047 inhibits arachidonic acid, collagen, and ADP-induced platelet aggregation with an IC50 of 180-200 nM, which is nearly 100 times more potent...

E-64 is a fungal metabolite originally isolated from Aspergillus japonicus that has diverse biological activities. It inhibits a variety of cysteine proteases, including cathepsins B, H, and L, as well as papain, ficin, and bromelain, but not the serine proteases plasmin, trypsin, and tissue kallikrein or the...

Purity: >98%. Formulation: (Request formulation change), A crystalline solid. Solubility: DMF: 20 mg/ml, DMSO: 20...

Sphingosines are long-chain base precursors of cellular sphingolipids used directly in the synthesis of ceramide, which in combination with sialic acid forms ganglioside. Sphingosine can exist in four stereoisomers, however only sphingosine occurs naturally. Compared to other sphingolipids throughout the body, which...

Anandamide (AEA) is an endogenous cannabinoid that binds to both central cannabinoid (CB1) and peripheral cannabinoid (CB2) receptors. The biological actions of AEA are terminated by cellular uptake and hydrolysis of the amide bond by the enzyme fatty acid amide hydrolase. Arachidonoyl-N,N-dimethyl amide is an...

Histone H3 is a nuclear protein and a component of the nucleosome core that is essential for organizing genomic DNA in eukaryotic nuclei. It is a globular protein that contains an unstructured N-terminal tail that extends outside of the nucleosome core and is subject to various post-translational modifications,...

10-Nitrolinoleate is a nitrated fatty acid and a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) agonist. It is formed from linoleic acid (Cay-90150, Cay-90150.1, Cay-21909) upon exposure to acidified nitrite.Formal Name: 10-nitro-9E,12Z-octadecadienoic acid. CAS Number: 774603-04-2. Synonyms: 10-LNO2,...
