Hormones and Neuropeptides

Insulin (human) is a polypeptide hormone that regulates the level of glucose. Insulin (human) can be used for the diabetes mellitus.

Insulin cattle is a two-chain polypeptide hormone produced in vivo in the pancreatic β cells. Insulin cattle has often been used as growth supplement in culturing cells.

α-MSH (α-Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone), an endogenous neuropeptide, is an endogenous melanocortin receptor 4 (MC4R) agonist with anti-inflammatory and antipyretic activities. α-MSH is a post-translational derivative of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC).

Substance P (Neurokinin P) is a CNS-penetrant neuropeptide, acting as a neurotransmitter and as a neuromodulator in the CNS. The endogenous receptor for substance P is neurokinin 1 receptor (NK1-receptor, NK1R).

Glucagon (1-29), bovine, human, porcine is a peptide hormone, produced by pancreatic α-cells. Glucagon stimulates gluconeogenesis. Glucagon (1-29), bovine, human, porcine activates HNF4α and increases HNF4α phosphorylation.

Sauvagine TFA is a corticotropin-releasing factor receptor (CRFR) agonist. Sauvagine TFA activates HM-CRF receptors to stimulate intracellular cAMP accumulation, activates PC-CRF receptors to trigger associated signaling pathways, and stimulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Sauvagine TFA can be used for research on central nervous system and blood diseases.

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.

Thymus peptide C is a hormonal agent derived from the thymus glands of young calves, which works as a substitute for the physiological functions of the thymus.

Insulin solution (human) is a polypeptide hormone that regulates the level of glucose. Insulin solution (human) can be used for the diabetes mellitus.

Oxytocin (α-Hypophamine; Oxytocic hormone) is a pleiotropic, hypothalamic peptide known for facilitating parturition, lactation, and prosocial behaviors. Oxytocin can function as a stress-coping molecule with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and protective effects especially in the face of adversity or trauma.

Teriparatide (Human parathyroid hormone-(1-34)) is a PTH1 receptor agonist. Teriparatide (Human parathyroid hormone-(1-34)) can be used for osteoporosis research.

GIP, human, a peptide hormone consisting of 42 amino acids, is a stimulator of glucose-dependent insulin secretion and a weak inhibitor of gastric acid secretion. GIP, human acts as an incretin hormone released from intestinal K cells in response to nutrient ingestion.

α-CGRP (human) (Calcitonin gene-related peptide) is a regulatory neuropeptide of 37 amino acids. α-CGRP (human) is widely distributed in the central and peripheral nervous system. α-CGRP (human) is a potent vasodilator and has inotropic and chronotropic effects.

α-CGRP (mouse, rat), a neuropeptide (calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP)) mainly expressed in neuromuscular junction, is a potent vasodilator. α-CGRP (mouse, rat) can lead to a fall in blood pressure and an increase in heart rate by peripheral administration, also relax colonie smooth muscle. α-CGRP (mouse, rat) has the potential in cardiovascular, pro-inflammatory, migraine and metabolic studies.

Calcitonin salmon, a calcium regulating hormone, is a dual-action amylin and calcitonin receptor agonist, could stimulate bone formation and inhibit bone resorption.

Bradykinin is an effective endothelium-dependent vasodilator that can lower blood pressure. Bradykinin can induce contraction of bronchial and intestinal non-vascular smooth muscle, increase vascular permeability, and participate in the mechanism of pain.

Amylin, amide, rat is a potent and high affinity ligand of Amylin receptor AMY1 and AMY3 receptors and variably of AMY2 receptors; binding studies are generally used for the latter receptor.

GLP-1(7-37) is an intestinal insulinotropic hormone that augments glucose induced insulin secretion.

Calcitonin (human) is a hypocalcemic hormone. Calcitonin can lower blood calcium levels and inhibit bone resorption. Calcitonin can be used in hypercalcemia or osteoporosis research.

PACAP (1-38), human, ovine, rat is a PAC₁ receptor agonist. PACAP (1-38), human, ovine, rat binds to PACAP type I receptor, PACAP type II receptor VIP1, and PACAP type II receptor VIP2 with IC₅₀s of 4 nM, 2 nM, and 1 nM, respectively. PACAP (1-38), human, ovine, rat increases the α-secretase activity. PACAP (1-38), human, ovine, rat elevates cytosolic Ca²⁺, increases proliferation and increases phosphorylation of extracellular regulates kinase (ERK) and the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). PACAP (1-38), human, ovine, rat demonstrates potent, efficacious, and sustained stimulatory effects on sympathetic neuronal NPY and catecholamine production. PACAP (1-38), human, ovine, rat can be used for neurotrophic and neuroprotective research.
