    More Info

    • Introduction

      Leukemia Inhibitory Factor also called LIF is a lymphoid factor that promotes long-term maintenance of embryonic stem cells by suppressing spontaneous differentiation. Leukemia Inhibitory Factor has several functions such as cholinergic neuron differentiation, control of stem cell pluripotency, bone & fat metabolism, mitogenesis of factor dependent cell lines & promotion of megakaryocyte production in vivo. Human and mouse LIF exhibit a 78% identity in its amino acid sequence.

    • Synonyms

      CDF, HILDA, D-FACTOR, Differentiation- stimulating factor, Melanoma-derived LPL inhibitor, MLPLI, Emfilermin, Leukemia inhibitory factor, LIF, DIA.

    • Physical Appearance

      Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.

    • Stability

      Lyophilized Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C.For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.

    • Solubility

      It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) in sterile water not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

    • Background

      Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) Background

      Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) is a cytokine within the interleukin-6 family. It is influential in the hypothalamus and involved in energy balance.

      LIF stimulates ACTH secretion and affects the stress and immune response in the body. Administration of LIF has been shown to correct low plasma ACTH and repair hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis responses.

      Function and Applications of LIF

      LIF prevents the proliferation of myeloid leukemia cells by inducing their terminal differentiation. Beyond cancer, LIF influences bone metabolism, embryogenesis, and inflammation.

      Moreover, it supports the self-renewal of stem cells in culture by activating Stat3, thus preventing spontaneous differentiation, and is studied for potential benefits in fertility treatments.

      Structure and Interactions

      LIF's structure consists of a four alpha-helix bundle similar to other hematopoietic cytokines. It interacts with components such as the ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) through multimeric receptors, influencing both cytokine's effects on cells. This interaction is crucial for forming high-affinity binding sites that mediate their biological activities.

    More Info

    • Introduction

      Vascular endothelial growth factor is an important signaling protein involved in both vasculogenesis and angiogenesis. As its name implies, VEGF activity has been mostly studied on cells of the vascular endothelium, although it does have effects on a number of other cell types (e.g. stimulation monocyte/ macrophagemigration, neurons, cancer cells, kidney epithelial cells ).VEGF mediates increased vascular permeability, induces angiogenesis, vasculogenesis and endothelial cell growth, promotes cell migration, and inhibits apoptosis. In vitro, VEGF has been shown to stimulate endothelial cell mitogenesisand cell migration. VEGF is also a vasodilator and increases microvascular permeability and was originally referred to as vascular permeability factor.
      Elevated levels of this protein are linked to POEMS syndrome, also known as Crow-Fukase syndrome. Mutations in this gene have been associated with proliferative and nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy.

    • Introduction

      Prolactin is a lactogenic hormone secreted by the adenohypophysis .Besides its major action on lactation, in some species prolactin exerts effects on reproduction, maternal behavior, fat metabolism, immunomodulation and osmoregulation.Prolactin has been shown also to have cytokine-like activities and to have important immunoregulatory activities. It contributes to the development of lymphoid tissues and the maintenance of physiological immune function and also modulates a variety of T-cell immune responses. Prolactin has been reported to activate cellular proliferation in nonreproductive tissue, such as liver, spleen, and thymus. It induces significant proliferation in aortic smooth muscle cells and also enhances proliferation of these cells induced by PDGF . Prolactin also appears to be directly mitogenic for pancreatic beta cells. Prolactin is also mitogenic for cultured astrocytes.

      Leptin is mainly produced by adipocytes. Leptin’s main part is to regulate long-term energy balance. Leptin is encoded by the LEP gene. Leptin effects mostly on leptin receptors in the cell mambrane of various cells in the human body. The leptin receptor can be found on a various cell types. The leptin receptor is a single-transmembrane-domain type 1 cytokine receptor. leptin levels influence satiety, appetite and triggers behaviours which save energy. High leptin levels are interpreted by the brain that energy reserves are high, whereas low leptin levels means that energy reserves are low, in the process adapting the organism to starvation through a variety of metabolic, neurobiochemical, endocrine and behavioral change.

    • Background

      Human resistin is an adipokine primarily secreted by adipose tissue, mainly in response to obesity and inflammatory conditions.

      Resistin Function

      Resistin takes part in insulin resistance, which can be the cause of the development of type 2 diabetes. Resistin can also affect glucose metabolism and insulin signalling.

      Regulation

      Levels of resistin are influenced by factors such as inflammation, obesity and certain hormones. It tends to increase in conditions associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome.

      Clinical Relevance

      Elevated levels of resistin have been associated with obesity-related conditions, cardiovascular diseases, and metabolic disorders. Resisting is considered as a potential biomarker for these conditions.

      Resistin Mechanism

      Resistin promotes insulin resistance through different pathways such as the modulation of inflammatory processes and the inhibition of insulin signaling in target tissues like liver and muscle.

      Research

      Ongoing studies are exploring resistin’s role in metabolic regulation, the exact mechanisms of action of resistin and its potential as a therapeutic target for treating metabolic diseases.

      Overall, resistin is a critical factor in metabolic health, mainly in the context of diabetes and obesity.

      Human Factor IX also called Christmas-Factor is a glycoprotein, which is synthesized in the liver and belongs to the serine proteases system and is part of the S1 peptidase family.
      Lack of Factor-IX causes Hemophilia-B meaning Christmas Disease. Factor-IX has a N-terminus region which contains 12xGla residues which asist the calcium dpendant binding of Factor-IX to the phospholipid surface. Factor-IX is activated by either factor XIa or the factor VIIa/tissue factor/phospholipid complex. Cleavage yields the intermediate IXa, which is subsequently converted to the fully active form IXab.
      Factor-IX binds initially to exosites on the factor XIa heavy chain, followed by interaction at the active site with subsequent bond cleavage. Coagulation factor IX is activated by interaction with the erythrocyte membrane, causing intrinsic coagulation. Chaperones & lectins act simultaniously to guarantee the proper folding of Factor-IX and the retention of mutant molecules. Human Factor IX, activated by either the Contact or Tissue Factor Pathway, is responsible for the activation of Factor X to Xa.

    • Introduction

      Eukaryotic Translation Initiation Factor 3F, also known as EIF3F belongs to the eIF-3 subunit F family. EIF3F is a component of the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3 (eIF-3) complex, which isessential for several steps in the initiation of protein synthesis. The eIF-3 complex associates with the 40S ribosomeand facilitates the recruitment of eIF-1, eIF-1A, eIF 2: GTP: methionyl-tRNAi and eIF-5 to form the 43S preinitiationcomplex (43S PIC). In addition, the eIF-3 complex stimulates mRNA recruitment to the 43S PIC and scanning of the mRNA forAUG recognition. The eIF-3 complex is also necessary for disassembly and recycling of post termination ribosomalcomplexes and subsequently prevents premature union of the 40S and 60S ribosomal subunits prior to initiation. Among the diseases associated with EIF3F are intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, and cholangiocarcinoma.

    • Introduction

      Leptin is a protein hormone with important effects in regulating body weight, metabolism and reproductive function. The protein is approximately~16 kDa in mass and encoded by the obese (ob)gene. leptin is expressed predominantly by adipocytes, which fits with the idea that body weight is sensed as the total mass of fat in the body. Smaller amounts of leptin are also secreted by cellsin the epithelium of the stomach and in the placenta. Leptin receptors are highly expressed in areas of the hypothalamus known to be important in regulating body weight, as well as in T lymphocytes and vascular endothelial cells.
