We also perform assays using kDNA as substrate. For details on this decatenation/supercoiling assay please refer to our technical literature (link provided above). One unit of gyrase activity will supercoil 0.2 ug of plasmid in 30 min at 37°C.Included Materials:A 5X assay uffer and dilution buffer is included with the enzyme. These are also sold separately as 5X Gyrase Assay Buffer Gyrase Dilution Buffer (please enquire).Purification of Gyrase A and B SubunitsDescriptionHighly purified DNA Gyrase is offered as a holoenzyme (contains both A,B subunits). This is an excellent reagent for supercoiling plasmids in vitro or for novel drug screens.Shipping&storageThe enzyme is shipped on dry ice and should be stored at -70°C. We also recommend that the enzyme be aliquoted after the first thaw (repeated rounds of freeze/thaw may cause loss of activity); the enzyme activity is stable for 1-3 days on ice...

Appears to play a role in wound healing by up-regulating, in skin fibroblasts, the expression of a number of genes involved in angiogenesis, inflammation and matrix remodeling including VEGA-A, VEGA-C, MMP1, MMP3, TIMP1, uPA, PAI-1 and integrins alpha-3 and alpha-5. CYR61-mediated gene regulation is dependent on heparin-binding. Down-regulates the expression of alpha-1 and alpha-2 subunits of collagen type-1. Promotes cell adhesion and adhesive signaling through integrin alpha-6/beta-1, cell migration through integrin alpha-v/beta-5 and cell proliferation through integrin alpha-v/beta-3.Banckground:Cyr61, also known as CCN1, is a 40-45 kDa matricellular glycoprotein that plays an important role in cellular adhesion and migration (1). Cyr61 consists of an IGFBP domain, a VWF type C domain, a TSP type I domain, and a cysteine knot domain (2). Mature human Cyr61 shares 93% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat Cyr61. It is widely expressed during development and in adult tissues (2, 3). Cyr61 associates with the extracellular matrix (ECM) and with many cell surface molecules including Integrins alpha V beta 3, alpha V beta 5, alpha M beta 2, and alpha 6 beta 1, Syndecan-4, and heparan sulfate proteoglycans (1, 3). Cyr61 mediates the adhesion and migration of multiple cell types and also promotes vascular endothelial cell tubule formation (4-6). Plasmin cleavage of ECM-bound Cyr61 releases a 28 kDa N-terminal fragment which retains the ability to promote endothelial cell migration (7). Cyr61 exhibits both tumorigenic and tumor suppressor properties. It is up-regulated and promotes tumorigenesis, angiogenesis, and metastasis in breast, renal, gastric, squamous cell, and colorectal carcinomas as well as in glioma (8-12). In contrast, whendown-regulated, it suppresses tumor growth in endometrial, hepatic, and non-small cell lung cancers (8, 13, 14). Cyr61 is also up-regulated in injured skin and bone where it induces the expression of growth factors, cytokines, proteases, and integrins involved in wound repair (15, 16)...

The PEDF is a Purity>97% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.FunctionPigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) is encoded by the SERPINF1 gene in humans and found in verebrates. It is a secreted phosphoglycoprotein that belongs to the clade F subfamily, serpin superfamily of proteinase inhibitors. The PEDF is a noninhibitory serpin with neurotrophic, anti-angiogenic, and anti-tumorigenic properties. It is synthesized as a 418 a.a. about 50kDa precursor that contains a 19 a.a. signal sequence and a 399 a.a. mature region that shows a pyroglutamate at Gln20. Like other serpins, it contains three β-sheets, 810 α-helices, and a C-terminal RCL (reactive center loop). Unlike other serpins with Ser protease inhibiting activity. PEDF has functions of inducing extensive neuronal differentiation in retinoblastoma cells, inhibiting of angiogenesis. As it does not undergo the S (stressed) to R (relaxed) conformational transition characteristic of active serpins, it exhibits no serine protease inhibitory activity. PEDF is researched as a therapeutic candidate for treatment of such conditions as choroidal neovascularization, heart disease, and cancer...

The Purity:>95%, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Coomassie® Blue Staining.Description:The monkeypox virus is the causative agent of the infectious disease of monkeypox. The virus is a member of the Orthopoxvirus genus in the family Poxviridae. And its genome is a double-stranded DNA. The disease caused by the virus is similar to but milder than smallpox and its mortality is often much lower. Humans and animals are both hosts for monkeypox virus and both species are vulnerable to the virus and may develop diseases. Monkeypox virus is mainly distributed in rainforests of west and central Africa. Isolates from Central Africa and Western Africa is different in virulence and the former is more virulent than the latter. The virus could spread in animals and humans and direct contact with the body fluid of an infected animal or being bitten may infect the virus... Read More |
