Protease Activated Receptor (PAR) Activator

TRAP-7 is a thrombin receptor (PAR) activating peptide. TRAP-7 stimulates total inositol phosphate (IP) accumulation and phosphorylation of a specific endogenous substrate for activated PKC. TRAP-7 can be used in cardiovascular disease research.

Human α-Thrombin (EC 3.4.21.5; Human Alpha Thrombin) (Lyophilized) is a terminal serine protease in the coagulation cascade, as well as a potent physiological platelet agonist and fibrin-generating enzyme in vivo. Human α-Thrombin catalyzes the conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin for blood clot formation, and activates platelet aggregation by cleaving the protease-activated receptors PAR1 (major) (K_d = 1 nM) and PAR4 (minor) on the platelet surface to expose tethered ligands. Human α-Thrombin also amplifies coagulation via positive feedback by activating coagulation factors V, VIII, XI (FV/FVIII/FXI), and switches to activate protein C to exert anticoagulant effects after binding to thrombomodulin.
This product is in a freeze-dried form.

Gestodene-d₇ (SHB 331-d₇; WL 70-d₇) is the deuterated-labeled Gestodene (HY-B0110). Gestodene is an orally active synthetic progestogen compound of the 19-nortestosterone class. Gestodene binds with high affinity to the progesterone receptor, inhibits 5α-reductase, binds to androgen and aldosterone receptors, and inactivates CYP3A. Gestodene acts as a positive allosteric modulator of PAR1, enhances PAR1-mediated signaling pathways, and is capable of increasing the activation potency of PAR1-AP toward PAR1, thereby promoting ERK1/2 phosphorylation, receptor internalization, cell morphological changes, and human platelet aggregation. Gestodene and its A-ring reduced metabolites promote the proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization of neonatal rat osteoblasts. Gestodene itself has no binding capacity for estrogen receptors, and this osteogenic activity depends on intracellular metabolism to generate A-ring reduced products with estrogen-like agonistic activity. Gestodene is useful for research on diseases related to progesterone secretion and diseases related to thrombosis.

Gestodene-d₆ (SHB 331-d₆; WL 70-d₆) is the deuterated-labeled Gestodene (HY-B0110). Gestodene is an orally active synthetic progestogen compound of the 19-nortestosterone class.

Apoptosis Inducer 28 (Compound X1) is an apoptosis-inducing agent with anticancer activity in vitro. Apoptosis Inducer 28 can arrest the cell cycle at the G1 phase, promote cell death, and induce apoptosis by disrupting mitochondrial membrane potential. Apoptosis inducer 28 can also decrease the production of reactive oxygen species, downregulate the gene expression of BAX, Bcl-xL, and Bcl-2, while upregulating the gene expression of PAR-4.

Gestodene (Standard) (SHB 331 (Standard); WL 70 (Standard)) is the analytical standard of Gestodene (HY-B0110). This product is intended for research and analytical applications.
