Protein kinase C (PKC ) is a calcium-independent, phospholipid- and diacylglycerol-dependent serine threonine kinase involved in diverse signaling pathways, including those involved in neuronal signaling, cytoskeletal function, and inflammation.[1] PKC inhibitor peptide is a synthetic peptide corresponding to an amino acid sequence found in the amino terminal C2 domain of most mammalian forms of PKC .[2] It selectively and reversibly inhibits the translocation of PKC to intracellular membranes, blocking activation.[2] PKC inhibitor peptide is commonly used in cells to evaluate the role of PKC in various cellular responses.[3],[4],[5]
UC-1V150 is a distinct TLR7 agonist, which activates cellular immune responses and exhibits anti-tumor effects. It also serves as a precursor for the synthesis of ISAC molecules, known as immune-stimulating antibody conjugates [1] [2].
Amyloid-β (1-8, A2V) is a truncated form of amyloid-β (Aβ) that contains a valine to alanine substitution at position 2 of the Aβ numbering convention (Aβ A2V), which corresponds to position 673 of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) numbering convention (APP A673V). An Aβ (1-40) (Aβ40) A2V peptide increases the production of Aβ and the rate and amount of amyloid fibril formation in vitro, effects that can be reduced by coincubation with wild-type Aβ40. Aβ40 and Aβ42 levels are increased in CHO cells expressing the Aβ A2V mutation and in fibroblasts derived from patients with the Aβ A2V mutation. As a homozygous mutation, Aβ A2V is correlated with Alzheimer's disease with distinctive pathological features, but disease does not develop in patients with a heterozygous Aβ A2V mutation.
