Descriptions:Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) is a member of the cytokine family. It is a polypeptide hormone that has the function of promoting the synthesis of neurotransmitters and the growth of neurites in a specific neuronal population. Its action seems to be limited to the nervous system. Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) exerts its biological effects by activating a multi-subunit receptor complex consisting of an extracellular CNTF-binding subunit (CNTFα) and two transmembrane signaling proteins (glycoprotein gp130 and LIF receptor). CNTF is thought to be a potent survival factor in neurons and oligodendrocytes and may be associated with reduced tissue destruction during inflammatory episodes. CNTF is also a survival factor for peripheral sensory sympathetic ganglions and ciliary ganglia neurons. CNTF has been reported to have therapeutic potential and to greatly differentiate.

Descriptions:Interleukin-1 alpha (IL1 alpha or IL1α) is a member of the interleukin-1 cytokine family, found constitutively present in epithelial layers of the entire gastrointestinal tract, lung, liver, kidney, endothelial cells, and astrocytes. The synthesized IL-1 alpha is a 31 kDa inactive precursor and can be cleaved by intracellular caspase-1 or extracellular proteases to generate the bioactive 17 kDa form and the 16 kDa N-terminal cleavage product. Both precursor and mature IL-1 alpha protein bind to the IL-1 receptor (IL-1R), initiating a cascade of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines production such as IL-6, IL-8, and TNF, in response to viral and bacterial pathogens conditions. IL-1 alpha plays a central role in immune-surveillance mechanisms, stimulating macrophages, neutrophils, and CD8+ T cells activity.

Descriptions:The Luminescent Mycoplasma Detection Kit utilizes Mycoplasma-specific kinase activity and detects it through a luminescent reaction catalyzed by ATP-dependent luciferase, and determines whether a sample is contaminated with Mycoplasma by comparing the change in ATP content before and after addition of the test reagent. When Mycoplasma is cleaved, it releases a unique kinase that reacts with the substrate and catalyzes the conversion of ADP to ATP.

Descriptions:Interleukin 9 (IL-9) is a pleiotropic cytokine that had pleiotropic functions in the immune system, has a molecular mass of 14.5 kDa. The major source of IL-9 is T lymphocytes. It is secreted by CD4+ helper cells that acts as a regulator of a variety of hematopoietic cells.

Descriptions:Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is one of the lectin family members, which is the only chimera‑type galectin, containing one carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) connected to a long, flexible N‑terminal domain. The C‑terminal CRD is responsible for β-galactoside binding, and the N‑terminal domain is essential for its multimerization, and interaction with other intracellular proteins. Galectin-3 is predominantly presented in the cytoplasm and expressed on the cell surface, and then often secreted into biological fluids, such as serum and urine. Numerous studies have indicated that galectin-3 plays a crucial role in cell proliferation, apoptosis, gene expression, immune surveillance, inflammation, fibrosis, and host defense.
