Leucomyosuppressin, isolated from head extracts of the cockroach Leucophaea maderae, inhibits evoked transmitter release at the mealworm neuromuscular junction.
Pro-Adrenomedullin(153-185),human, (C143H224N42O43), a peptide with the sequence H2N-SLPEAGPGRTLVSSKPQAHGAPAPPSGSAPHFL-OH, MW= 3219.6. Adrenomedullin (AM) is a ubiquitously expressed peptide initially isolated from phaechromyctoma in 19931. AM was initially identified as a vasodilator, some have cited this as the most potent endogenous vasodilatory peptide found in the body2. Differences in opinion regarding the ability of AM to relax vascular tone arises from the differences in the model system used3. Other effects of AM include increasing the tolerance of cells to oxidative stress and hypoxic injury and angiogenesis. AM is seen as a positive influence in diseases such as hypertension, myocardial infarction, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other cardiovascular diseases, whereas it can be seen as a negative factor in potentiating the potential of cancerous cells to extend their blood supply and cause cell proliferation.
Bisnafide is a Naphthalimide Analogue that acts as DNA intercalator and topo II inhibitor. It is also an antiangiogenic agent. Antiangiogenic agents can normalize tumor vessels and promote the delivery of cytotoxic agents to tumor sites.
γ-Glu-Phe (γ-Glutamylphenylalanine) is a γ-3 glutamyl dipeptide found in sourdough, synthesized by Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (GBA) and Aspergillus oryzae (GAO). γ-Glu-Phe or the post-enzymatic reaction mixture enhances the umami intensity of commercial products.
Amyloid precursor c-terminal peptide has the amino acid sequence Gly-Tyr-Glu-Asn-Pro-Thr-Tyr-Lys-Phe-Phe-Glu-Gln-Met-Gln-Asn. APP is best known as the precursor molecule whose proteolysis generates beta-amyloid (Aβ), a 37 to 49 amino acid peptide whose am
