Before use, please mix the product gently by turning it up and down after it is completely melted and centrifuged briefly.2. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing of the product, which may degrade its performance. This product can be stored at -20℃ for a long time. UsageThe following examples are STR reaction systems and conditions, which should be improved and optimized according to the specific use, template, primer structure, target fragment size and amplification effect.PCR reaction systemExtract the DNA amplification reaction system:Blood Card Direct Expansion Reaction System:Attention:1) When designing the primers, the difference between the Tm of each primer should be minimized, and the difference should be controlled within 5℃ as far as possible. If the amplification efficiency is not high, the concentration of primers can be increased; if non-specific amplification occurs, the concentration of primers can be decreased to optimize the reaction system. For optimal amplification, it is recommended that the primer mixture be vortexed for 10 s and centrifuged briefly before use.(2) The amount of DNA template is usually 0.1 ng-1 ng of human genomic DNA as a reference, and the amount of template input can be adjusted according to the amplification effect to determine the optimal amount of template to use.3) Human genome contamination should be avoided during the operation, and a set of negative control (no DNA) is recommended for the experiment.2. PCR reaction conditionsAttention:1) Two-step PCR reaction program is recommended. If you can not get good results due to low Tm value of the primers or large difference in Tm value between primers, you can try to use three-step PCR amplification, the annealing temperature should be set in the range of 55℃-65℃ as a reference (the annealing temperature is usually 5℃ lower than the Tm value), and the extension temperature should be set at 72℃.(2) When good amplification results are not obtained, the annealing and extension time can be appropriately prolonged to 120 s-150 s. The annealing and extension time can be extended to 120 s-150 s. (3) When the PCR product detection appears to be incomplete plus A, the final extension time can be appropriately extended to 30-40 min. 4) The number of cycles can be set according to the downstream application of the amplified product, if the number of cycles is too small, the amplification is insufficient, the recommended number of cycles is 28-31 cycles.5) Blood card direct amplification can be based on the actual amplification effect to increase the 72 ℃ lysis step to improve the amplification efficiency.6) When using the ABI 9700 Thermal Cycler, perform amplification in MAX mode.7) PCR products can be stored at 2-8°C for short-term storage or at -20°C for long-term storage.Attention:(1) Usually, a primer concentration of 0.2 M can give better results, and 0.1-1.0 µM can be used as a reference for setting the range. If the amplification efficiency is not high, the concentration of primer can be increased; if non-specific reaction occurs, the concentration of primer can be decreased to optimize the reaction system.(2) The final concentration of the probe used is related to the fluorescence quantitative PCR instrument used, the type of probe, and the type of fluorescent labeling substance, please refer to the manual of the instrument or the specific requirements for the use of each fluorescent probe to adjust the concentration.3) Usually the amount of DNA template is 10-100 ng of genomic DNA or 1-10 ng of cDNA as a reference, as templates of different speciesThe number of copies of the target gene contained in them varies, and a gradient dilution of the template can be performed to determine the optimal amount of template to use. PCR reaction conditions :(1) The enzyme used in this product is activated by pre-denaturation at 95°C for 30 s. Most of the templates can be deconvoluted well under this condition. Under this condition, most of the templates can be well unchained. For templates with high GC content and complex secondary structure, the pre-denaturation time can be extended to 1 minute, so that the starting template can be fully unchained, and if the high temperature treatment time is too long, it will affect the activity of the enzyme; for simple templates, pre-denaturation can also be used for 20 s, and the optimal pre-denaturation time can be determined according to the template situation.(2) It is recommended to use two-step PCR program, the annealing temperature should be 58-64℃ as the reference range, and the annealing temperature can be increased in case of non-specific reaction. If you can't get good results due to the use of primers with low Tm value, you can try three-step PCR amplification, and the annealing temperature should be set in the range of 56℃-64℃ as a reference. The annealing and extension times for several common instruments are shown in the following table: 20 s for Roche, BioRad, Agilent, Hongshi, Dongshenglong, etc. 30 s for ABI 7000/7300/7500. The annealing/extension times can be set according to the different types of instruments and templates, please follow the instructions of the instruments. The annealing/extension time can be set according to different models of instruments and templates, please follow the instruction manual of the instrument...

It is produced during activation of both the classical and lectin pathways of complement. C4a is a member of the anaphylatoxin family of three proteins (C3a, C4a and C5a) produced by the activation of complement (Hugli, T.E. et al. (1981)). It is an unglycosylated polypeptidecontaining 77 amino acids with a molecular mass of 8,759 daltons. Many of the biological functions of C4a are similar to those of C3a, but the specific activities are far below those of C3a. C4a activity is so low, in fact, that it was initially thought to be inactive. These measured activities include inducing muscle contraction in the guinea pig ileum test (spasmogenic activity), desensitization of muscle to C3a stimulation suggesting that the same receptor for both C3a and C4a is involved (tachyphylactic activity) and inducing vascular permeability in human skin (Gorski J.P. et al. (1979)). C4a does not show tachyphylactic activity against C5a or chemotactic activity. Removal of the C-terminal arginine by serum carboxypeptidase N destroys all these activities (Meuller-Ortiz, S.L., et al. (2009)). C4a appears to act through the C3a receptor (C3aR) which is a G-protein coupled receptor found widely distributed on peripheral tissues, lymphoid cells (neutrohphils, monocyes, and eosinophils) and in the central nervous system (astrocytes, neurons and glial cells) (Law, S.K.A. and Reid, K.B.M. (1995)). Physical Characteristics & StructureMolecular weight: 8,759 calculated molecular mass. Observed mass (MALDI-TOF) is 8,762 + 9 mass units. pI = 9.0 to 9.5 (Gorski, J.P. et al. (1981))Amino acid sequence (77 amino acids): NVNFQKAINE KLGQYASPTA KRCCQDGVTR LPMMRSCEQR AARVQQPDCR EPFLSCCQFA ESLRKKSRDK GQAGLQRC4a is thought to be structurally very similar to C3a and C5a to which it is homologous. Thus its 3D structure is probably similar to the X-ray-derived crystal structureof C3a (Huber, R. et al. (1980)) and the NMR derived structure of C3a: Nettesheim, D.G. et al. (1988); Murray, I. et al. (1999).FunctionSee General Description above. C4a exhibits much weaker biological activities than C3a and C5a. Its activity in inducing erythema and edema in human skin is 25,000-fold weaker than that of C5a and 100-fold weaker than C3a per nanomole. The spasmogenic activity of C4a is 2000-fold weaker than C5a and 100-fold weaker than that of C3a. Due to these differences the role of C4a in these responses in vivo is thought to be negligible.AssaysTwo well established assays for C4a and C3a functional activities include induction of contraction in the guinea pig ileum and the permeation of a dye such as trypan blue from the vasculature into skin. The anaphylatoxins also induce mast cell degranulation, (measured as histamine release), platelet aggregation, IL-1 release from monocytes and the release of prostaglandins and leukotrienes from many cells and tissues. The other assays used for C3a (Dodds, A.W. and Sim, R.B. (1997)) should also respond to C4a, but few reports have described utilizing these assays with C4a. ELISA kits for the assay of C4a levels (or more correctly C4a desArg levels) in blood and other fluids are sold by several companies. These measurements are useful for detecting complement activation in vivo, but the interpretation of their meaning is complicated by the fact that clearance of the anaphylatoxins is rapid. In vivoFreshly drawn normal human serum contains significant levels of all three anaphylatoxins. Although these may represent the resting concentration in vivo it is difficult to draw or store blood without some complement activation so a true in vivo concentration is difficult to determine. The presence of EDTA and Futhan in the collection tubes can minimize this background (Pfeifer, P.H. et al. (1999)). Full activation of all C4 in blood (600µg/mL) would result in ~3,400 nM C4a (~30 µg/mL). Due to the low biological activity of C4a it could require activation of most of the C4 in a small region to achieve the micromolar C4a concentrations necessary to elicit a response.RegulationC4a levels are regulated by three processes: formation, inactivation and clearance. There are two enzymes that cleave C4 and release C4a: C1s and MASP-2. C4a is “inactivated” by removal of its C-terminal arginine amino acid. The product C4a desArg (or C4a without the C-terminal arginine) is produced by the action of the plasma enzyme carboxypeptidase N (Mueller-Ortiz S.L. et al. (2009)). The inactivation is rapid and most C4a is converted to C4a desArg within minutes of its formation. Inactivated C4a lack measurable biological activity. Because of the large number of cells bearing C3a/C4areceptors (endothelial, immune, smooth muscle, neuronal, etc.) the capture, internalization and digestion of C4a and C4a desArg probably results in its removal from circulation.DeficienciesA deficiency of C4 or a deficiency of all of the enzymes that cleave C4 to generate C4a could result in the absence of C4a. There are no known complete deficiencies of all ofthe C4 cleaving enzymes. Examples of C4 deficient humans and mice exist (Wessels, M.R. et al. (1995)), but the degree to which pathologies associated with C4 deficiency are due to the lack of C4 or the absence of C4a is unclear. DiseasesThere are no known diseases connected to C4a or C4a desArg. Precautions/Toxicity/HazardsThe source of C4a is human serum, therefore appropriate precautions must be observed even though the source was shown by certified tests to be negative for HBsAg, HTLV-I/II, STS, and for antibodies to HCV, HIV-1 and HIV-II.Injection can cause anaphylatic shock which is a generalized circulatory collapse similar to that caused by an allergic reaction.Hazard Code: B WGK Germany 3...

Stimulates AMPK phosphorylation and activation in the liver and the skeletal muscle, enhancing glucose utilization and fatty-acid combustion. Antagonizes TNF-alpha by negatively regulating its expression in various tissues such as liver and macrophages, and also by counteracting its effects. Inhibits endothelial NF-kappa-B signaling through a cAMP-dependent pathway. May play a role in cell growth, angiogenesis and tissue remodeling by binding and sequestering various growth factors with distinct binding affinities, depending on the type of complex, LMW, MMW or HMW.Post-translationalHydroxylated Lys-33 was not identified in PubMed:16497731, probably due to poor representation of the N-terminal peptide in mass fingerprinting. HMW complexes are more extensively glycosylated than smaller oligomers. Hydroxylation and glycosylation of the lysine residues within the collagene-like domain of adiponectin seem to be critically involved in regulating the formation and/or secretion of HMW complexes and consequently contribute to the insulin-sensitizing activity of adiponectin in hepatocytes. O-glycosylated. Not N-glycosylated. O-linked glycans on hydroxylysines consist of Glc-Gal disaccharides bound to the oxygen atom of post-translationally added hydroxyl groups. Sialylated to varying degrees depending on tissue. Thr-22 appears to be the major site of sialylation. Higher sialylation found in SGBS adipocytes than in HEK fibroblasts. Sialylation is not required neither for heterodimerization nor for secretion. Not sialylated on the glycosylated hydroxylysines. Desialylated forms are rapidly cleared from the circulation...
