MitoA is a ratiometric mass spectrometry probe that can be used for assessing changes in H2S within mitochondria in vivo. MitoA contains a triphenylphosphonium cation component that drives its accumulation in mitochondria where its aryl azide moiety selectively reacts with H2S to produce an amine product, MitoN. Quantifying the MitoN MitoA ratio by LC-MS MS reflects the mitochondrial matrix H2S concentration. In a mouse model of acute myocardial infarction with MitoA administered prior to ischemia, the MitoN MitoA ratio is increased only in the region of ischemia.

4-APC hydrobromide is a potent and specific aldehyde derivatization agent. It contains an aniline moiety that enables rapid and selective reaction with aliphatic aldehydes, as well as a quaternary ammonium group that enhances sensitivity in mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. By utilizing 4-APC hydrobromide, aldehydes can be detected with exceptional sensitivity and selectivity using MS.
N-Acyl taurines, such as N-lignoceroyl taurine, alongside various arachidonoyl amino acid conjugates like N-arachidonoyl dopamine and N-arachidonoyl-L-serine, have been identified in bovine brain and through mass spectrometry lipidomic studies in the brain and spinal cord of both wild-type and FAAH knockout mice. Notably, N-lignoceroyl taurine levels were found to be 23-26 times higher in FAAH knockout mice than in wild types, suggesting its degradation by FAAH, despite in vitro evidence showing FAAH hydrolyzes N-lignoceroyl taurine significantly slower than oleoyl ethanolamide. Additionally, N-acyl taurines with polyunsaturated acyl chains are known to activate TRPV1 and TRPV4 channels within the transient receptor potential (TRP) family of calcium channels.
SNOB 1 Reagent is a biotinylated probe for detecting S-nitrosylated proteins in a single step. S-Nitrosylated binding (SNOB) proceeds rapidly on surface proteins or cell lysates under normal physiological conditions. Proteins tagged with SNOB 1 Reagent can be analyzed using avidin-linked probes (e.g., by immunoblot) or by mass spectrometry.

Ongoing stability testing is performed to ensure the concentration remains accurate throughout the shelf life of the product.Note: The amount of solution added to the vial is in excess of the listed amount. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately measure volumes for preparation of calibration standards. Follow recommended storage and handling conditions to maintain product quality.
Quorum sensing is a regulatory process used by bacteria for controlling gene expression in response to increasing cell density.[1] This regulatory process manifests itself with a variety of phenotypes including biofilm formation and virulence factor production.[2] Coordinated gene expression is achieved by the production, release, and detection of small diffusible signal molecules called autoinducers. The N-acylated homoserine lactones (AHLs) comprise one such class of autoinducers, each of which generally consists of a fatty acid coupled with homoserine lactone (HSL). AHLs vary in acyl group length (C4-C18), in the substitution of C3 (hydrogen, hydroxyl, or oxo group) and in the presence or absence of one or more carbon-carbon double bonds in the fatty acid chain. These differences confer signal specificity through the affinity of transcriptional regulators of the LuxR family.[3] C16:1-Δ9-(L)-HSL is a long-chain AHL that functions as a quorum sensing signaling molecule in strains of S. meliloti.[4],[5],[6],[7] Regulating bacterial quorum sensing signaling can be used to inhibit pathogenesis and thus, represents a new approach to antimicrobial therapy in the treatment of infectious diseases.[8] Reference:[1].
