131 Results for "epigenetics" in MCE Product Catalog:
Methylation is an epigenetic modification mechanism that involves adding methyl groups to molecules such as DNA and histones, which can alter gene expression without changing the DNA sequence. This process is catalyzed by enzymes such as DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs) and histone methyltransferases (HMTs), and can be reversed by demethylases. The balance of methylation and demethylation is crucial for maintaining cellular function and genomic stability. Abnormal regulation of methylation may lead to a variety of diseases, including cancer, neurological disorders, and developmental abnormalities. A deep understanding of the molecular mechanisms of methylation metabolism is essential for developing therapeutic strategies for diseases associated with methylation dysregulation.
MCE contains 351 compounds targeting methylation/demethylation enzymes, which is of significant value for studying the pathways of methylation metabolism and exploring their mechanisms of action in diseases.
A histone modification, a covalent post-translational modification (PTM) to histone proteins, includes methylation, phosphorylation, acetylation, ubiquitylation, and sumoylation, etc. In general, histone modifications are catalyzed by specific enzymes that act predominantly at the histone N-terminal tails involving amino acids such as lysine or arginine, as well as serine, threonine, tyrosine, etc. The PTMs made to histones can impact gene expression by altering chromatin structure or recruiting histone modifiers. Histone modifications act in diverse biological processes such as transcriptional activation/inactivation, chromosome packaging, and DNA damage/repair. Deregulation of histone modification contributes to many diseases, including cancer and autoimmune diseases.
MCE owns a unique collection of 931 bioactive compounds targeting Epigenetic Reader Domain, HDAC, Histone Acetyltransferase, Histone Demethylase, Histone Methyltransferase, Sirtuin, etc. Histone Modification Research Compound Library is a useful tool for histone modification research and drug screening.
Protein lactylation, an emerging post-translational modification identified in recent years, plays a critical role in linking cellular metabolic reprogramming, epigenetic regulation, and signaling networks. Based on a systematic framework encompassing lactate metabolism, lactylation, and downstream signaling pathways, this compound library comprehensively targets multiple regulatory layers, including histone modification enzymes (such as p300 and HDACs), key glycolytic enzymes (such as PKM2, LDHA, and GAPDH), transcriptional regulators (such as STAT3, HMGB1, and p53), as well as central signaling pathway nodes including HIF-1α, NF-κB, and PI3K-AKT-mTOR. This integrated design enables a comprehensive representation of the regulatory roles of lactylation across the “metabolism–epigenetics–signaling” axis.
MCE has assembled a collection of 6,182 known bioactive compounds and potential functional molecules, making this library suitable for a wide range of applications, including high-throughput drug screening, inhibitor identification, and mechanistic studies. It can be used to systematically evaluate the functional roles of lactylation in biological processes such as tumor metabolism, immune regulation, and inflammatory responses, and to efficiently identify small-molecule candidates with regulatory potential, thereby facilitating the development of innovative therapeutics targeting the interplay between metabolism and epigenetic regulation.
