Description: CD40, a member of the TNF receptor superfamily, is a cell surface protein expressed on B cells, dendritic cells, monocytes, thymic epithelial cells and, at low levels, on T cells. Signaling though CD40 plays an important role in the proliferation and differentiation of B cells, and is critical for immunoglobulin (Ig) class switching. The membrane-anchored CD40-Ligand is expressed almost exclusively on activated CD4+ T lymphocytes. Failure to express CD40L leads to “immunodeficiency with hyper-IgM”, a disease characterized by failure to produce IgG, IgA and IgE. The human CD40L gene codes for a 261 amino acid type II transmembrane protein, which contains a 22 amino acid cytoplasmic domain, a 24 amino acid transmembrane domain, and a 215 amino acid extracellular domain. The soluble form of CD40L is an 18 kDa protein comprising the entire TNF homologous region of CD40L and is generated in vivo by an intracellular proteolytic processing of the full length CD40L. Recombinant Human sCD40 ligand is a 16.3 kDa protein containing 149 amino acid residues comprising the receptor binding TNF-like domain of CD40L.

Description: ApoA-I is a 29.0 kDa protein produced in the liver and intestine, and secreted as the predominant constituent of nascent high density lipoprotein (HDL) particle. ApoA-I, which is found exclusively in HDL, has a unique ability to capture and solubilize free cholesterol. This ApoA-I ability enables HDL to remove excess peripheral cholesterol, and return it to the liver for recycling and excretion. This process, called reverse cholesterol transport, is thought to inhibit atherogenesis. For this reason, HDL is also known as the “good cholesterol.” The therapeutic potential of ApoA-I has been recently assessed in patients with acute coronary syndromes, using a recombinant form of a naturally occurring variant of ApoA-I (called ApoA-I Milano). The availability of recombinant normal ApoA-I should facilitate further investigation into the potential usefulness of ApoA-I in preventing atherosclerotic vascular diseases. Recombinant Human ApoA-I is a 28.2 kDa protein of 244 amino acid residues.

Description: Prokineticin-2 (PK2) is a cysteine-rich secreted protein that is expressed in the testis and, in lower levels, in the small intestine. PK2 regulates various biological functions, including gastrointestinal motility, angiogenesis and circadian rhythms. It is closely related to EG-VEGF (Prokineticin-1), and binds to two orphan B-protein-coupled receptors termed PK-R1 and PK-R2. Recombinant Human Prokineticin-2 is an 8.8 kDa protein consisting of 81 amino acid residues, including ten cysteine residues that can potentially form five pairs of intra-molecular disulfide bonds.

Description: Slit2 is a member of the Slit family that signals through the Roundabout (Robo) receptor as a repellent for axon guidance and neuronal migration, and also acts as a chemoattractant to vascular endothelial cells and a chemotaxis inhibitor for leukocytes. Slit2 is expressed primarily in the fetal lung, kidney, and adult spinal cord, and to a lesser extent in the adult adrenal gland, thyroid and trachea. Slit2 is initially synthesized as a 1499 amino acid precursor, which is subsequently cleaved into N-terminal and C-terminal fragments, designated as Slit2-N and Slit2-C respectively. The neurodevelopment-related activities, as measured by the ability to repel olfactory bulb axons and to induce branching in dorsal root ganglia axons, are contained only in the N-terminal fragment. Recombinant Human Slit2-N is a 1093 amino acid glycoprotein corresponding to the N-terminal portion of the full length Slit2 precursor, and has a calculated, theoretical molecular weight of 122.35 kDa. Due to glycosylation Slit2-N migrates at an apparent molecular weight of approximately 120.0-140.0 kDa by SDS-PAGE analysis under reducing conditions.

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-AA is a 28.5 kDa disulfide-linked homodimer of two A chains (250 total amino acids).

Description: The Trefoil Factor peptides (TFF1, TFF2 and TFF3) are secreted in the gastrointestinal tract, and appear to play an important role in intestinal mucosal defense and repair. TFF-3 is expressed by goblet cells and in the uterus, and has also been shown to be expressed in certain cancers, including colorectal, hepatocellular, and in biliary tumors. TFF3 may be useful as a molecular marker for certain types of cancer, but its role, if any, in tumorigenesis is unknown. TFF3 also promotes airway epithelial cell migration and differentiation. Recombinant Human TFF-3 is a 13.2 kDa homodimeric protein consisting of two 59 amino acid chains, which includes a 40-amino acid trefoil motif containing three conserved intramolecular disulfide bonds.

Description: The FGF family plays a central role during prenatal development, postnatal growth and regeneration of a variety of tissues, by promoting cellular proliferation and differentiation. FGF-23, FGF-21 and FGF-19 constitute an atypical FGF subfamily whose ligands act as circulating hormones and require the participation of a Klotho protein as a co-receptor for their signaling. FGF-23 is a bone-derived hormone that acts in the kidney to regulate phosphate homeostasis and vitamin D metabolism. The signaling receptor for FGF-23, a Klotho-FGFR1 (IIIc) complex, is an essential regulator of the renal sodium phosphate co-transporter and key vitamin D-metabolizing enzymes CYP27B1 and CYP24A1. Recombinant Human FGF-23 is a 25.5 kDa globular protein containing 228 amino acid residues.
