VEGFR1/Flt-1 Activator

Secretoneurin, rat is a 33-amino acid neuropeptide produced by proteolytic processing of chromogranin II, widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous systems, and its release is calcium-dependent. Secretoneurin, rat modulates the activities of caspase-3, caspase-1, the NLRP3 inflammasome, IGF-1R, VEGFR1, VEGFR2, FGFR3, AMPK, ERK1/2/MAPK, and Jak2/Stat3 pathways. Secretoneurin, rat regulates neuronal apoptosis, synaptic structure, inflammation, neurogenesis, angiogenesis, oxidative stress, cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, dopamine release, and cell migration and proliferation. Secretoneurin, rat is used in studies of global cerebral ischemia, myocardial infarction, stroke, and cardiac hypertrophy.

JB-1, an IGF-I analog, is a selective IGF-I receptor inhibitor that does not interact with IGF-II. JB-1 competes with IGF-I for binding to IGF-1R and blocks receptor autophosphorylation. JB-1 increases the level of sVEGFR-1. JB-1 normalizes retinal abnormalities, including reducing retinal neovascularization. JB-1 is applicable to studies related to oxygen-induced retinopathy.
