| Description | Z-WEHD-FMK is a potent, cell-permeable and irreversible caspase-1/5 inhibitor. Z-WEHD-FMK also exhibits a robust inhibitory effect on cathepsin B activity (IC50=6 µM). Z-WEHD-FMK can be used to investigate cells for evidence of apoptosis[1][2][4] | α-Casein (90-95) is a partial agonist of opioid receptors and a copper ion ligand, with opioid activity. α-Casein (90-95) inhibits the secretion of β-hexosaminidase by rat peritoneal mast cells (PMC) with IC50= 0.1 µM. α-Casein (90-95) inhibits the proliferation of prostate α-Casein (90-95) is a partial agonist of opioid receptors and a copper ion ligand, with opioid activity. α-Casein (90-95) inhibits the secretion of β-hexosaminidase by rat peritoneal mast cells (PMC) with IC50= 0.1 µM. α-Casein (90-95) inhibits the proliferation of prostate cancer cells LNCaP, DU145, and PC3 with IC50 of 0.94 nM, 137 nM, and 6.92 nM, respectively. α-Casein (90-95) activates Gi-like proteins through a membrane-assisted, receptor-independent pathway, or reversibly binds to opioid receptors, inducing intracellular calcium release and conformational changes, and exerts the activity of promoting mast cell secretion and inhibiting tumor cell proliferation. α-Casein (90-95) can be used in the study of the mechanisms of allergic diseases and prostate cancer[1][2][3]...

Apelin-36(human) shows high affinity to human APJ receptors expressed in HEK 293 cells (pIC50=8.61). Apelin-36 has been linked to two major types of biological activities: cardiovascular and Apelin-36(human) is an endogenous orphan G protein-coupled receptor APJ agonist, with an EC50 of 20 nM. Apelin-36(human) shows high affinity to human APJ receptors expressed in HEK 293 cells (pIC50=8.61). Apelin-36 has been linked to two major types of biological activities: cardiovascular and metabolic. Apelin-36(human) inhibits the entry of some HIV-1 and HIV-2 into the NP2/CD4 cells expressing APJ[1][2][3][4]...
