The toxin BeKm-1 isolated from scorpion Buthus eupeus is singled out of other characterized α-KTxs by selectively inhibiting HERG channels, which are voltage-gated K+ channels, coded by the humanether-a-go-go-related gene. The interest in the HERG channels has increased due to the important role these channels play in different tissues, mainly in shaping the action potential in the heart). The HERG channels specify one component of the delayed rectifier that contributes to the repolarization phase of cardiac action potential. One form of inherited long QT syndrome, LQT2, results from genetic defects in herg1 gene and predisposes affected individuals to potentially lethal arrhythmias. However most often the same sickness is derived from the nonspecific blockade of cardiac HERG current by various commonly used medications, such as class III antiarrhythmics, antihistaminics, or antipsychotics. This undesirable side effect is a major hurdle in the development of new and safe drugs, which may be overcome by the resolution of HERG channel pore structure.

Hot Products
  • Teduglutide

    Teduglutide is a polypeptide consisting of 33 amino acids. It is glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) analogue that is used for the treatment of short bowel syndrome.

    Inquiry
  • Carperitide

    Atrial Natriuretic Peptide (ANP) (1-28), human, porcine is a 28-amino acid hormone, that is normally produced and secreted by the human heart in response to cardiac injury and mechanical stretch. ANP (1-28) inhibits endothelin-1 secretion in a dose-dependent way.

    Inquiry
  • Thymopentin Acetate

    Thymopentin, also known as TP-5, is a synthetic derivative of thymopoietin, a thymic hormone, and has immunoregulatory properties. Thymopentin interacts with T cells, reduces endocrine and behavioral responses to experimental stress. It is also found to increase the number of cells undergoing apoptosis in irradiated cells and selectively bind to apoptotic cells.

    Inquiry
  • Lanreotide Acetate

    Lanreotide is a a synthetic cyclic octapeptide analogue of somatostatin. Lanreotide inhibits the secretion of growth hormone (GH) by binding to pituitary somatostatin receptors, and may inhibit the release of various other hormones, including thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) and the gastroenteropancreatic hormones insulin, glucagon and gastrin.

    Inquiry
  • Glucagon

    Glucagon (Porcine glucagon) is a peptide hormone, produced by pancreatic α-cells. Glucagon stimulates gluconeogenesis. Glucagon decreases the activity of HNF-4. Glucagon increases HNF4α phosphorylation.

    Inquiry
  • Angiotensin II Acetate

    Angiotensin II is an octapeptide that produced from angiotensin I after the removal of two amino acids at the C-terminal by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Angiotensin II is mediated by AT1 and AT2 receptors, which are seven transmembrane glycoproteins with 30% sequence similarity.

    Inquiry
  • Icatibant

    Icatibant (Firazyr) is a synthetic peptidomimetic drug consisting of ten amino acids, and acts as an effective and specific antagonist of bradykinin B2 receptors. It has been approved in the EU for use in hereditary angioedema, and is under investigation for a number of other conditions in which bradykinin is thought to play a significant role.

    Inquiry
  • GLP-1 (7-37) Acetate

    Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an incretin derived from the transcription product of the proglucagon gene. The major source of GLP-1 in the body is the intestinal L cell that secretes GLP-2 as a gut hormone.

    Inquiry
  • Gonadorelin Acetate

    Gonadorelin is a trophic peptide hormone responsible for the release of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary. GnRH is synthesized and released from GnRH neurons within the hypothalamus. The peptide belongs to gonadotropin-releasing hormone family. It constitutes the initial step in the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis.

    Inquiry
  • Deslorelin Acetate

    Deslorelin acetate is an injectable gonadotropin releasing hormone super-agonist (GnRH agonist) also known as an LHRH agonist. It stops the production of sex hormones (testosterone and oestrogen).
