| Description | Microbial derived chondroitin sulfate (CS)/dermatan sulfate (DS) sugar chain degrading enzymes (CSases) belong to polysaccharide lyases, which break the β -1,4-glycosidic bond between N-acetylglucosamine (GalNAc) and hexuronic acid (GlcUA/IdoUA) through a b-elimination reaction. At the same Microbial derived chondroitin sulfate (CS)/dermatan sulfate (DS) sugar chain degrading enzymes (CSases) belong to polysaccharide lyases, which break the β -1,4-glycosidic bond between N-acetylglucosamine (GalNAc) and hexuronic acid (GlcUA/IdoUA) through a b-elimination reaction. At the same time, unsaturated double bonds are formed between the C4 and C5 carbon atoms of the uronic acid, which have characteristic absorption at 232 nm and can be conveniently used for oligosaccharide product analysis and detection. Commercialized CSases include CSase ABC from Proteus vulgaris, which can simultaneously degrade CS, DS, and HA. In fact, CSase ABC is a mixture of two enzymes, with CSase ABCI being a CS/DS endonuclease and CSase ABCII being a non reducing end exonuclease of CS/DS; CSase ACI and B from Flavobacterium heparinum, where CSase ACI is a CS and HA specific endonuclease, while the latter is a DS specific endonuclease; The CSase ACII from Arthrobacter auricens is another CS and HA specific degrading enzyme, but it is an exonuclease that can effectively cleave the enzyme labeled with tetrasaccharides at the reducing end of CS oligosaccharides after being fluorescently labeled. Therefore, it is particularly useful in CS oligosaccharides enzymatic sequencing. CS/DS lyase is not only an important tool enzyme for studying the structure-activity relationship of CS/DS and preparing CS/DS oligosaccharides, but also has significant clinical application value in the treatment of central nervous system injuries. We can provide customers with various CSases with different substrate selectivity, substrate degradation modes, and specifications according to their needs, meeting various needs such as CS/DS structural and functional analysis, product quality testing, heparin/heparan sulfate production and purification, and large-scale enzymatic hydrolysis preparation of CS and DS functional oligosaccharides...

The mesothelin gene encodes a ~70 kDa Purity: >95%, by SDS-PAGE visualized with Coomassie® Blue Staining. Description: Mesothelin (MSLN), also known as CAK1 and ERC, is a glycosylated cell-surface antigen present on normal mesothelial cells and over-expressed in several human tumors. The mesothelin gene encodes a ~70 kDa precursor protein that is cleaved at a dibasic proteolytic site into a 40 kDa membrane-bound protein termed MSLN and a 31 kDa shed fragment called megakaryocyte-potentiating factor (MPF) that is released from the cell. Cleaved, human MSLN remains attached to the cell surface via a GPI linkage and shares 58% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat MSLN. In human, alternate splicing generates additional MSLN isoforms that have either an eight amino acid insertion following Ser408 or a substituted C‑terminal region with no GPI anchor. Mesothelin is normally expressed on mesothelial cells in the pleura, pericardium, and peritoneum as well as in the developing and postnatal pancreas. It is up‑regulated in mesotheliomas and a range of carcinomas and adenomas. Mesothelin promotes tumor cell proliferation, migration, anchorage-independent growth, and tumor progression. It is co‑expressed with the tumor antigen CA125/MUC16 on advanced ovarian adenocarcinomas and interacts with this molecule to support cell adhesion. A soluble form of Mesothelin is released from tumor cells into the serum or tissue effusions...

Read More | Background:Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha ), also known as cachectin and TNFSF2, is the prototypic ligand of the TNF superfamily. It is a pleiotropic molecule that plays a central role in inflammation, immune system development, apoptosis, and lipid metabolism. Rat TNF-alpha consisitsBackground:Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha ), also known as cachectin and TNFSF2, is the prototypic ligand of the TNF superfamily. It is a pleiotropic molecule that plays a central role in inflammation, immune system development, apoptosis, and lipid metabolism. Rat TNF-alpha consisits of a 35 amino acid (aa) cytoplasmic domain, a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and a 179 aa extracellular domain (ECD). Within the ECD, rat TNF-alpha shares 94% aa sequence identity with mouse and 69%-76% with bovine, canine, cotton rat, equine, feline, human, porcine, and rhesus TNF-alpha. TNF-alpha is produced by a wide variety of immune, epithelial, endothelial, and tumor cells. TNF-alpha is assembled intracellularly to form a noncovalently linked homotrimer which is expressed on the cell surface. Cell surface TNF-alpha can induce the lysis of neighboring tumor cells and virus infected cells, and it can generate its own downstream cell signaling following ligation by soluble TNFR I. Shedding of membrane bound TNF-alpha by TACE/ADAM17 releases the bioactive cytokine, a 55 kDa soluble trimer of the TNF-alpha extracellular domain. TNF-alpha binds the ubiquitous 55-60 kDa TNF RI and the hematopoietic cell-restricted 80 kDa TNF RII, both of which are also expressed as homotrimers. Both type I and type II receptors bind TNF-alpha with comparable affinity, although only TNF RI contains a cytoplasmic death domain which triggers the activation of apoptosis. Soluble forms of both types of receptors are released and can neutralize the biological activity of TNF-alpha. Post-translational modificationsThe soluble form derives from the membrane form by proteolytic processing.The membrane form, but not the soluble form, is phosphorylated on serine residues.Dephosphorylation of the membrane form occurs by binding to soluble TNFRSF1A/TNFR1.O-glycosylated; glycans contain galactose, N-acetylgalactosamine and N-acetylneuraminic acid...
