PTEN hydrolyzes phosphate at the 3 position on the inositol ring of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3, and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4. Although PTEN has the consensus sequence of a protein tyrosine phosphatase, it dephosphorylates p-nitrophenylphosphate and other synthetic and protein substrates poorly. The greatest catalytic activity has been observed with the highly negatively charged, multiply phosphorylated polymer of (Glu-Tyr)n.
Suitable for use as a potent inhibitor of PKC and other protein kinases in vitro and in cultured cells.
Applications for Rat ESGRO® include use as a reagent for the in vitro maintenance of rat ES cells. Studies have demonstrated that rtLIF is more effective in maintaining the undifferentiated phenotype of rat ES cells than similar concentrations of murine LIF.
Fibroblast Growth Factor-acidic (FGF-a) is a heparin binding growth factor which stimulates the proliferation of a wide variety of cells including mesenchymal, neuroectodermal and endothelial cells. Human FGF-acidic is a 15.8 kDa protein containing 140 amino acid residues.
Fibroblast Growth Factor-basic (bFGF) is a heparin binding growth factor which stimulates the proliferation of a wide variety of cells including mesenchymal, neuroectodermal and endothelial cells. bFGF also exerts a potent angiogenic activity in vivo. Human bFGF is a 17.2 kDa protein containing 154 amino acid residues. Xu, et al. demonstrated that bFGF synergizes with the BMP antagonist noggin to sustain undifferentiated proli…

Stem Cell Factor (SCF) is a hematopoietic growth factor that exerts its activity at the early stages of hematopoiesis. SCF stimulates the proliferation of myeloid, erythroid, and lymphoid progenitors in bone marrow cultures and has been shown to act synergistically with colony stimulating factors. Recombinant human SCF is an 18.4 kDa protein containing 165 amino acid residues corresponding to the soluble secreted form of SCF.
M-CSF is a potent hematopoietic factor produced by a variety of cells including lymphocytes, monocytes, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, myoblasts and osteoblasts. It is involved in development, differentiation, and survival of blood monocytes, tissue macrophages and their progenitor cells. The human is reactive in murine systems, but the murine molecule exhibits no activity on human cells.
Fibroblast Growth Factor-8 (FGF-8) is a heparin binding growth factor that stimulates the proliferation and activation of cells that express FGF receptors. Recombinant Human FGF-8 is a 22.4 kDa protein containing 193 amino residues.
Human BAFF (B-cell activating factor belonging to the TNF family) is a novel ligand in the TNF family. BAFF plays an important role as co-stimulator of B-cell proliferation and function. Recombinant human BAFF is a soluble 17.0 kDa protein containing 153 amino acid residues, comprising the TNF-like extracellular domain of BAFF.
Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) is a polypeptide growth factor which stimulates the proliferation of a wide range of epidermal and epithelial cells. Human EGF is a 6.2 kDa protein containing 53 amino acid residues.
Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) is a polypeptide growth factor, which stimulates the proliferation of a wide range of epidermal and epithelial cells. Recombinant murine EGF is a 6.2 kDa protein containing 54 amino acid residues.
These iodinated hormonos are HPLC purified and prepared fresh monthly.
Glucagon is a 3,5 kDa hormone secreted by the A cells of the Islets of Langerhans in the pancreas and is involved in regulation of glucose homeostasis thro µgh enhanced synthesis and mobilization of glucose in the liver, and regulation of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.
GLP-1 is secreted from gut endocrine cells in response to nutrient ingestion and plays multiple roles in metabolic homeostasis.
