D-loop peptide, synthetic is an antigenic peptide. It cyclizes through a peptide bond between the side chain carboxylic group of Asp10 and the terminal amide of the peptide.
TNF-α antagonist is an exocyclic peptide that mimics the critical TNF-α recognition loop on TNF receptor I complex and, thus, prevents ligand interaction with the receptor. By blocking the TNF receptor ligand contact site, this peptide interferes with both activating receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK) and TNF-α's recruitment and activation of osteoclasts. TNF-α antagonist has been used to block bone resorption in the study of systemic bone loss in rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bone destruction.
Z-VAE(OMe)-fmk is a cell-permeable and irreversible UCHL1 inhibitor. The inhibitor approaches the active-site cleft from the opposite side of the crossover loop as compared to the direction of approach of ubiquitin's C-terminal tail, thereby occupying the P1' (leaving group) site, a binding site perhaps used by the unknown C-terminal extension of ubiquitin in the actual in vivo substrate(s) of UCHL1.
CNP, a member of the natriuretic peptide family, was first identified in porcine brain and later found in other mammals as well as non-mammals. Processing of the CNP precursor gives rise to CNP-22 and its N-terminally elongated form, CNP-53. The CNPs shar
Dynorphin A (1-10), an endogenous opioid neuropeptide, binds to extracellular loop 2 of the κ-opioid receptor. Dynorphin A (1-10) also blocks NMDA-activated current with an IC50 of 42.0 μM.
