| Description | Candidalysin is a cytolytic peptide toxin secreted by the fungus Candida albicans. Candidalysin drives epithelial immune responses by activating the EGFR-MAPK signaling pathway, inducing MMP expression and calcium influx, and regulating the c-Fos transcription factor and MKP1 via p38 MAPK and ERK1/2Candidalysin is a cytolytic peptide toxin secreted by the fungus Candida albicans. Candidalysin drives epithelial immune responses by activating the EGFR-MAPK signaling pathway, inducing MMP expression and calcium influx, and regulating the c-Fos transcription factor and MKP1 via p38 MAPK and ERK1/2 respectively. Candidalysin is essential for mucosal and systemic infections, activating NLRP3 to promote inflammatory responses, neutrophil recruitment, and Th17 immunity. Candidalysin activates LDH causing membrane damage and exhibiting cytotoxicity[1][2][3][4]...

Macrophage-activating lipopeptide-2 enhances endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) phosphorylation and endothelial cell release of NO, thereby improving vasodilation. Macrophage-activating lipopeptide-2 Macrophage-activating lipopeptide 2 TFA is an agonist of Toll like receptors TLR-2/TLR-6. Macrophage-activating lipopeptide-2 enhances endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) phosphorylation and endothelial cell release of NO, thereby improving vasodilation. Macrophage-activating lipopeptide-2 enhances endothelial adhesion of white blood cells and improve perfusion recovery and collateral growth in the hind limbs of hypercholesterolemic Apoe deficient mice undergoing experimental femoral artery ligation (FAL)[1]...

Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-20 promotes hair pigmentation and delays hair graying by activating the MC1-R pathway (AC50: 0.16 nM), enhancing catalase activity to reduce H2O2 accumulation, and upregulating SIRT1 activity. Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-20 (PTP20) is a biomimetic peptide agonist of α-MSH. Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-20 promotes hair pigmentation and delays hair graying by activating the MC1-R pathway (AC50: 0.16 nM), enhancing catalase activity to reduce H2O2 accumulation, and upregulating SIRT1 activity. Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-20 can be used in research on preventing hair loss and improving hair graying[1]... Read More | Vapreotide is a neurokinin-1 (NK1) receptor antagonist, with an IC50 of 330 nM |
