Description: A sensitive reagent for measuring the free sulfhydryl content in proteins, peptides, and tissues. Used to characterize reactive thiol groups and photometric determination of thiols and for measuring low-molecular mass thiols such as glutathione in both pure solutions and biological samples, such as blood. It can also measure the number of thiol groups on proteins. Through reaction with aliphatic thiol groups a mixed disulfide of protein thiol and one mole of 2-nitro-5-thiobenzoate per mole of protein sulfhydryl group is being formed. DTNB has little absorbance. Reaction with -SH groups on proteins (from any solvent accessible Cys) under mild alkaline conditions (pH 7-8) produces the 2-nitro-5-thiobenzoate anion, which gives an intense yellow color with an absorption maximum at 409.5nm (Extinction coefficient: 14150 M-1*cm-1). Sensitive to various buffer ions, therefore, the extinction coefficient used to calculate the number of sulfhydryl groups must be matched to the reaction conditions. In case the thiol groups are in disulfide bonds, they must be reduced under anaerobic conditions prior to reaction with DTNB.

Description: Betatrophin (RIFL; Lipasin; Angiopoietin-like protein 8 (ANGPTL8)) is a newly discovered secreted protein of 198 aa that was proposed to promote beta cell proliferation and improve glucose tolerance in mice. Betatrophin may also function in inhibition of lipase activity and on serum triglyceride regulation. Betatrophin is expressed in the liver and in white and brown adipose tissue of mice. In humans, betatrophin is found to be predominantly expressed in the liver. Betatrophin levels are reduced by fasting and are elevated upon insulin resistance and during pregnancy. Betatrophin, according to preliminary data could bind to the macrophage receptor Marco and also to RTN4R, a neuronal receptor. Recently, a study using ANGPTL8 KO mice showed that ANGPTL8/Betatrophin does not play a role in beta cell proliferation nor in glycemic control as previously thought, but regulates plasma triglyceride levels.

Description: alpha-Actinin 4 is an actin-bundling protein of ~100kDa that is associated with cell motility, endocytosis and cancer invasion. The alpha-actinin family comprises two non-muscle isoforms (alpha-actinin-1 and -4) and two skeletal muscle isoforms (alpha-actinin-2 and -3), with alpha-actinin-2 being also expressed in cardiac muscle. While alpha-actinin-4 is almost ubiquitously expressed, particularly high concentrations are found in glomeruli. On the subcellular level it is associated with actin stress fibers, but in certain cells it also localizes to the nucleus. Mutations in the alpha-actinin-4 gene cause an autosomal-dominant form of familial focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), which is thought to result from a defect in glomerular podocyte function. A point mutation in the alpha-actinin-4 gene was found to generate an antigenic peptide that is recognized by autologous cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) on a human lung carcinoma. alpha-Actinin-4 interacts with a variety of proteins, including the ring finger protein BERP, the PDZ-LIM protein CLP-36, the hemidesmosomal and cell-cell contact protein BP180, and the tight junction protein MAGI-1. Moreover, alpha-actinin-4 forms a ternary complex with Ca2+/Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II and densin-180, a protein of postsynaptic densities in CNS neurons. Ca2+-dependent association of alpha-actinin-4 with E3KARP is required for Ca2+-dependent inhibition of the Na+/H+ exchanger 3 (NHE3).

Description: LYVE-1 has been identified as a major receptor for HA (extracellular matrix glycosaminoglycan hyaluronan) on the lymph vessel wall. Like CD44, the LYVE-1 molecule binds both soluble and immobilized HA. However, unlike CD44, the LYVE-1 molecule colocalizes with HA on the luminal face of the lymph vessel wall and is completely absent from blood vessels. Hence, LYVE-1 is the first lymph-specific HA receptor to be characterized and is a uniquely powerful marker for lymph vessels themselves.

Description: PARP-1 (ARTD1) is involved in the base excision repair (BER) pathway, by catalyzing the poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation of a limited number of acceptor proteins involved in chromatin architecture and in DNA metabolism. This modification follows DNA damages and appears as an obligatory step in a detection/signaling pathway leading to the reparation of DNA strand breaks. PARP-1 positively regulates the transcription of MTUS1 and negatively regulates the transcription of MTUS2/TIP150. It forms a complex with EEF1A1 and TXK that acts as a T-helper 1 (Th1) cell-specific transcription factor and binds the promoter of IFN-gamma to directly regulate its transcription, and is thus involved importantly in Th1 cytokine production.

Description: N-Dodecanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (C12-HSL) is a small diffusible signalling molecule involved in quorum sensing, thereby controlling gene expression and affecting cellular metabolism in bacteria. In addition to regulating bacterial functions, C12-HSL activates NF-kappaB in RAW 264.7 macrophages, increasing the expression of TNF-alpha, interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta) and IL-8, while other lactones do not. In addition, C12-HSL alters cell cycling and metabolism of human keratinocyte (HaCaT) cells. It is important to note that C12-HSL is distinct from N-3-oxo-dodecanoyl-L-homoserine lactone, which is produced at different times in biofilm development and has different cellular effects.

Description: The amine-reactive fluorescein derivatives are probably the most common fluorescent derivatization reagents for covalently labeling proteins. Carboxyfluorescein is better retained in cells than is fluorescein, its pKa of ~6.5 is lower than the cytosolic pH of most cells (pH ~6.8-7.4). Carboxyfluorescein is commonly employed as a polar tracer.

Description: Biotin derivative. Substrate of the horseradish peroxidase enzyme and used as a reagent to amplify immunohistochemical signals. It is based on the HRP-catalyzed deposition of tyramide conjugates (such as biotinyl-tyramide) on a solid phase. Subsequent reaction with streptavidin fluorophore results in the localization of the fluorophore at the site of tyramide deposition. This fluorescence-based tyramide signal amplification (TSA) has been widely used in immunohistochemistry, immunohistochemistry, immunoelectron microscopy, fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and fluorescence ELISA. The TSA method has been reported to increase the detection sensitivity up to 100-fold as compared with conventional avidin–biotinylated enzyme complex procedures. It can be used together with both chromogenic and fluorescence visualization methods. It can be added to any other standard IHC protocol and reduces the use of other reagents; improves signal to noise by reducing the titer of other reagents in the assay protocol and enables multi-target detection in both IHC and (F)ISH applications.
