| Description | Nonapeptide-1 (Melanostatine-5) acetate salt, a peptide hormone, is a selective antagonist of MC1R (Ki: 40 nM). Nonapeptide-1 acetate salt is a competitive α-MSH antagonist that potently inhibits intracellular cAMP and melanosome dispersion induced by α-MSH in melanocytes (IC50: 2.5 nM andNonapeptide-1 (Melanostatine-5) acetate salt, a peptide hormone, is a selective antagonist of MC1R (Ki: 40 nM). Nonapeptide-1 acetate salt is a competitive α-MSH antagonist that potently inhibits intracellular cAMP and melanosome dispersion induced by α-MSH in melanocytes (IC50: 2.5 nM and 11 nM, respectively). Nonapeptide-1 acetate salt inhibits melanin synthesis, and can be used in the research of skin pigmentation and regulation of steroid production in the adrenal gland, skin cancer[1][2][3]...

Exhibiting a unique glycosylation pattern that differentiates it from serum Conalbumin (Ovotransferrin), also known as ovotransferrin, is a monomeric glycoprotein consisting of 686 amino acids, encoded by the avian transferrin gene in the oviduct, and a prominent component of chicken egg white. Exhibiting a unique glycosylation pattern that differentiates it from serum transferrin, Conalbumin is a potent iron binder that plays a crucial role in iron transport to developing embryos. Additionally, it possesses a range of biological activities, including antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral, anticancer, antioxidative, antihypertensive, and immunoregulatory properties, making it valuable in numerous applications such as infant formula ingredients, food additives, and agents for enhancing animal health...

GIP (mouse) promotes insulin secretion from pancreatic β cells via the G-protein-coupled GIP receptor (GIPR). GIP (GIP (Gastric inhibitory polypeptide) (mouse) is a gastrointestinal hormone that is secreted by the intestinal K cells, and also expressed in and secreted from pancreatic islets. GIP (mouse) promotes insulin secretion from pancreatic β cells via the G-protein-coupled GIP receptor (GIPR). GIP (mouse) promotes pancreatic β cell proliferation and inhibits apoptosis. GIP (mouse) also exerts direct lipogenic effects on adipose tissue[1][2][3]... Read More | Lysozyme (Muramidase) is a conserved antimicrobial protein. Lysozyme exerts its bactericidal effect by hydrolyzing bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan (PG). Lysozyme plays an important role in limiting bacterial growth on mucosal surfaces and other sites, not only controlling potential pathogens but Lysozyme (Muramidase) is a conserved antimicrobial protein. Lysozyme exerts its bactericidal effect by hydrolyzing bacterial cell wall peptidoglycan (PG). Lysozyme plays an important role in limiting bacterial growth on mucosal surfaces and other sites, not only controlling potential pathogens but also limiting overgrowth of microbiota to prevent dysbiosis. Extracellular lysozyme can also degrade polymeric PG into soluble fragments, activate NOD receptors in mucosal epithelial cells, and lead to the secretion of chemokines and activating factors by neutrophils and macrophages[1][2]...
