It is an acute phase protein with levels elevated in patients with bacterial infections; interestingly, during the inflammatory response, LRG1 levels are not correlated with CRP levels. LRG1 binds cytochrome c, an initiator/amplifier of programmed cell death (apoptosis), and by binding cytochrome c, is thought to play a role in cell survival. LRG1 is a biomarker associated with several cancers, including non-small cell lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and pancreatic cancer. Recent studies have shown it is three-fold more abundant in ovarian cancer serum compared to non-cancer control serum. LRG1 levels are only moderately correlated with CA125 levels. Elevated levels of LRG1 in cerebral spinal fluid are being studied as markers for the early diagnosis of Parkinson's disease and progressive supranuclear palsy...

Read More | TEV Protease is the 241 amino acid (aa), 27 kDa catalytic domain of the nuclear inclusion a (NIa) protein encoded by the potyvirus, tobacco etch virus (TEV). It may be used in biotechnology to cleave affinity tags from recombinant proteins, either co-translationally orin vitrofollowing purification.TEV Protease is the 241 amino acid (aa), 27 kDa catalytic domain of the nuclear inclusion a (NIa) protein encoded by the potyvirus, tobacco etch virus (TEV). It may be used in biotechnology to cleave affinity tags from recombinant proteins, either co-translationally orin vitrofollowing purification. Its high specificity and activity at a wide range of pH and ionic strength make TEV Protease more versatile than many other proteases used for the same purpose. Unlike factor Xa, enteropeptidase or thrombin, TEV Protease has not been found to cleave at unintended sites, even when present at a high concentration. TEV Protease is a 3C-type protease that cleaves substrates with a consensus sequence of ENLYFQG. Cleavage occurs between Q and G. Since the final aa remains on the cleaved protein where it could potentially affect structure or function, substitution of a variety of aa have been tested. In order of efficiency, S, A, M, Y, D, N, E, K or L may be effectively used in place of G. Several of the remaining aa may also vary, giving a final consensus sequence of ExxYF(M)Q(E)/G(S, A or others) where aa in parenthesis are alternatives and x is any aa. The autocatalytic site of NIa at S2256 has been mutated to an N for improved stability of the protease.Tobacco Etch Virus Protease is a highly site-specific cysteine protease that is found in the tags from fusion proteins. The optimal temperature for cleavage is 30°C. It is recommended that the cleavage for each fusion protein be optimized by varying the amount of recombinant viral TEV protease, reaction time, or incubation temperature. It can be removed by Ni2+ affinity resin... Read More | Purity:>95%, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Coomassie® Blue Staining. Description： Neuron specific enolase (NSE), also known as ENO2 or gamma-enolase, is a dimeric, Mg2+-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the dehydration of 2-phospho-D glycate (PGA) to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) in the Purity:>95%, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Coomassie® Blue Staining. Description： Neuron specific enolase (NSE), also known as ENO2 or gamma-enolase, is a dimeric, Mg2+-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the dehydration of 2-phospho-D glycate (PGA) to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) in the glycolytic pathway and catalyzes the reverse reaction in gluconeogenesis. There are three major isozymes of enolase expressed in selective vertebrate tissues from separate genes: alpha (ENO1), beta (ENO3), and gamma (ENO2). NSE is a highly expressed, specific neuron isozyme making it a useful marker for tumors derived from neuronal cells. Neuron-specific enolase is implicated as a diagnostic and prognostic marker in numerous diseases including early small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, multiple myeloma, traumatic brain injury, acute spinal cord injury, acute ischemic stroke, and post-concussion symptoms. NSE expression and activity are increased in neuronal and glial activation and injury, risk factors implicated in neurodegenerative disease. Elevation of NSE promotes glycolysis, proliferation, activation and migration through its C-terminus to activate PI3K and MAPK signal transduction pathways while inhibition of enolase has been shown to attenuate inflammatory events. NSE can be regulated through cleavage of the C-termini by cathepsin X or inhibited directly by antibiotic SF2312. Inhibition has been proposed as a therapeutic strategy in cancer... Read More |
