Description: PDGFs are disulfide-linked dimers consisting of two 12.0-13.5 kDa polypeptide chains, designated PDGF-A and PDGF-B chains. The three naturally occurring PDGFs, PDGF-AA, PDGF-BB and PDGF-AB, are potent mitogens for a variety of cell types, including smooth muscle cells, connective tissue cells, bone and cartilage cells, and some blood cells. The PDGFs are stored in platelet alpha-granules, and are released upon platelet activation. The PDGFs are involved in a number of biological processes, including hyperplasia, chemotaxis, embryonic neuron development, and respiratory tubule epithelial cell development. Two distinct signaling receptors used by PDGFs have been identified and named PDGFR-alpha and PDGFR-beta. PDGFR-alpha is a high-affinity receptor for each of the three PDGF forms. On the other hand, PDGFR-beta interacts with only PDGF-BB and PDGF-AB. Recombinant Human PDGF-BB is a 24.3 kDa disulfide-linked homodimer of two beta chains (218 total amino acids).

Description: Myostatin is a TGF-beta family member that acts as an inhibitor of skeletal muscle growth. This muscle-specific cytokine interacts with Activin type I and type II receptors, and suppresses myoblast proliferation by arresting cell-cycle in the G1 phase. Suppression of myostatin activity facilitates muscle formation, and may be useful in reducing and/or preventing adiposity and type-2 diabetes. Myostatin activity can be blocked by the activin-binding protein follistatin, and by the propeptide of myostatin. Recombinant Human/Murine/Rat Myostatin is a 25.0 kDa protein consisting of two identical 109 amino acid polypeptides linked by a single disulfide bond. The amino acid sequence of mature myostatin is extremely conserved across species, and is the same in murine, rat, chicken, turkey, porcine, and human. Myostatin is expressed as the C-terminal part of a precursor polypeptide, which also contains a short N-terminal signal sequence for secretion, and a propeptide of 243 amino acids. After dimerization of this precursor, the covalent bonds between the propeptide and the mature ligand are cleaved by furin-type proteases. However, the resulting two proteins remain associated through non-covalent interactions, and are secreted as a latent complex.

Description: Irisin is a proteolytic hormone released into circulation by skeletal muscle tissue during acute exercise, and is a derivative of the cleaved plasma membrane protein Fibronectin type III domain-containing protein 5 (FNDC5). Found in muscle tissue, FNDC5 is synthesized at increased levels during exercise as a result of the overexpression of the exercise-responsive transcriptional co-activator PGC-1alpha (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma co-activator-1alpha). Like its parent polypeptide, Irisin can induce the browning of subcutaneous adipocytes, or the conversion of white adipose tissue (WAT or white fat) into brown (or beige) adipose tissue (BAT or brown fat). Given that brown fat can undergo thermogenesis, or the physiologic process of heat production, Irisin contributes to the metabolic process by increasing thermogenic function and glucose homeostasis. Irisin, thus, represents a link between exercise and "burning" of fats and/or sugars, and consequently may have relevance in the development of new treatments for diabetes and obesity. CHO cell-derived Recombinant Human/Murine/Rat Irisin is a glycosylated homodimer of 224 amino acid residues, whose monomer consists of 112 amino acid residues corresponding to the active portion of the 121-amino-acid length Irisin extracellular domain. Recombinant Human/Murine/Rat Irisin, appears to form a non-disulfide linked oligomeric structure in solution, has a calculated theoretical molecular weight of 25.2 kDa, but migrates at an apparent molecular weight of 28 kDa by SDS-PAGE analysis under reducing conditions due to glycosylation.

Description: IL-22 is a member of the IL-10 family of regulatory cytokines, which includes IL-10, IL-19, IL-20, IL-22, IL-24 and IL-26. Members of this family share partial homology in their amino acid sequences, but they are dissimilar in their biological functions. Produced by T lymphocytes, IL-22 inhibits IL-4 production by Th2 cells, and induces acute phase reactants in the liver and pancreas. IL-22 signals through a receptor system consisting of IL-10Rbeta/CRF2-4 and IL-22R, both of which are members of the class II cytokine-receptor family. Recombinant Human IL-22 is a 33.6 kDa, non-disulfide-linked, homodimeric protein consisting of two 147 amino acid polypeptide chains.

Description: TACI, a member of the TNF Receptor superfamily, is expressed in the small intestine, spleen, thymus, peripheral blood leukocytes, activated T cells, and resting B cells. TACI can bind to both APRIL and BAFF, stimulate the activation of transcription factors NF-κB and AP-1, and can mediate the calcineurin-dependent activation of NF-AT (nuclear-factor of activated T cells). TACI also plays a key role in the stimulation of B and T cell function. Soluble TACI inhibits APRIL-stimulated proliferation of primary B cells by blocking the binding of APRIL to the membrane-anchored TACI receptor. Recombinant Human TACI is a soluble 159 amino acid polypeptide (17.8 kDa) comprising the TNFR homologous, cysteine-rich extracellular domain of the TACI protein.

Description: M-CSF is a potent hematopoietic factor produced by a variety of cells, including lymphocytes, monocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, myoblasts and osteoblasts. It is a key regulator of cellular proliferation, differentiation, and survival for blood monocytes, tissue macrophages, and their respective progenitor cells. M-CSF has been shown to play important roles in modulating dermal thickness and fertility. M-CSF is clinically used in the treatment of infection, malignancies and atherosclerosis. It facilitates hematopoietic recovery after bone marrow transplantation. Human M-CSF is reactive in murine systems, but the murine molecule exhibits no activity on human cells. Recombinant Human M-CSF is a 36.8 kDa homodimeric protein consisting of two 159 amino acid polypeptide subunits.

Description: IL-6 is a pleiotropic cytokine that plays an important role in host defense by regulating immune and inflammatory responses. Produced by T cells, monocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells and keratinocytes, IL-6 has diverse biological functions. It stimulates B cell differentiation and antibody production, synergizes with IL-3 in megakaryocyte development and platelet production, induces expression of hepatic acute-phase proteins, and regulates bone metabolism. IL-6 signals through the IL-6 receptor system that consists of two chains, IL-6Rα and gp130. Murine IL-6 is inactive on human cells, while both human and murine are equally active on murine cells. Recombinant Murine IL-6 is a 21.7 kDa protein containing 188 amino acid residues.
