CollagentypeIValpha1 (531-543) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the COL4A1 gene on chromosome 13. It is ubiquitously expressed in many tissues and cell types. COL4A1 is a subunit of typeIVcollagen and plays a role in angiogenesis.
Type II collagen is composed of a triple helix of three identical α chains. These molecules associate to form a fibril that is stabilized by intermolecular crosslinks1. Damage to the fibrillar meshwork, made up of primarily type II collagen (z 90–95%), ma
This is a hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1 a) 19-mer fragment. HIF-1 functions as master regulator of response to oxygen homeostasis. Hypoxia-induced gene expression is initiated when HIF-1 subunit is stabilized in response to a lack of oxygen. This part
CNP, a member of the natriuretic peptide family, was first identified in porcine brain and later found in other mammals as well as non-mammals. Processing of the CNP precursor gives rise to CNP-22 and its N-terminally elongated form, CNP-53. The CNPs shar
This peptide is a fragment of the alpha-chain of insulin amino acids 1 to 13. The insulin a-chain epitope recognized by human T cells is posttranslationally modified.
HIF-1 alpha (556-574) is a 19-mer fragment of hypoxia-inducible factor-1, a master regulator of the response to oxygen homeostasis. Hypoxia-induced gene expression is initiated when the HIF-1 subunit is stabilized in response to a lack of oxygen.
Alpha-1 antitrypsin (A1AT) is known as a serum trypsin inhibitor and is a protease inhibitor belonging to the serpin superfamily. Alpha-1 antitrypsin is a single-chain glycoprotein consisting of 394 amino acids in the mature form and exhibits a number of
C-Type Natriuretic Peptide (CNP) (1-22), human (TFA), is a 22 amino acid fragment of CNP and functions as an agonist for the natriuretic peptide receptor B (NPR-B). It can inhibit cAMP synthesis, which is induced by histamine, 5-HT, or Forskolin. Additionally, CNP exhibits strong endothelial-derived relaxation properties and acts as a growth inhibitor.
