    • Introduction

      IL24 is a member of the IL10 family of cytokines. It was identified as a gene induced during terminal differentiation in melanoma cells. IL-10B encoded can induce apoptosis selectively in various cancer cells. Overexpression IL-24 leads to elevated expression of several GADD family genes, which correlates with the induction of apoptosis. The phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase 14 (MAPK7/P38), and heat shock 27kDa protein 1 (HSPB2/HSP27) are found to be induced by this gene in melanoma cells, but not in normal immortal melanocytes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. The glycosylation is essential for activity of IL-24. Functionally, IL-24 has diverse activities. At low concentrations, it induces type I proinflammatory cytokines such as IFN-g, IL-1b, IL-12 and TNF-a. At high concentration, it is a strong inducer of apoptosis in tumor cells, but not normal cells. mda-7/IL-24 is being hailed as a ‘magic bullet’ for cancer gene therapy.

    • Introduction

      Pleiotrophin (Osteoblast-Specific Factor-1, OSF-1) contains 136 amino acid residues. The sequence is very rich in cationic amino acids (24% of the residues); lysine cluster sequences are found in the N-terminal and C-terminal ends of the structure.
      The OSF-1 gene was shown by Northern blotting analysis to be expressed in mouse calvarial osteoblast-enriched cells and in mouse brain tissues, but not in thymus, spleen, kidney, liver, lung, testis or heart. Pleiotrophin has the ability to promote adhesion, migration, expansion, and differentiation of human osteoprogenitor cells. In addition to certain types of cancer, the embryonic growth and differentiation factor pleiotrophin is found also in adults in inflammatory diseases. In osteoarthritis, pleiotrophin is especially expressed in early stages, and its concentrations in the synovial fluid could serve as a marker for the progress of the disease. Pleitrophin might be involved in cartilage repair in osteoarthritis, in particular, in earlier stages.

    • Introduction

      Midkine (MK) is the product of a retinoic acid responsive gene. It contains 121 amino acid residues including 10 conserved cysteine residues, all of which appear to be disulphide linked.
      Midkine is expressed during embryogenesis, showing an expression pattern that suggests functions in neurogenesis, cell migration, secondary organogenetic induction, and mesoderm-epithelial interaction.
      The widespread downregulation of MK in the adult human is reverted in a number of cancers, in which polypeptides are able to act as both transforming growth factors and promoters of angiogenesis.
      Midkine (MK), induces chemotaxis of human neutrophils and was found to trigger mobilization of intracellular calcium of these cells.
      Midkine induces histamine release from rat peritoneal mast cells with a rapid response in a dose dependent manner.
      Midkine is also a potent stimulator of collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis.

    • Introduction

      A human infecting coronavirus (viral pneumonia) called 2019 novel coronavirus, 2019-nCoV was found in the fish market at the city of Wuhan, Hubei province of China on December 2019.

      The 2019-nCoV shares an 87% identity to the 2 bat-derived severe acute respiratory syndrome 2018 SARS-CoV-2 located in Zhoushan of eastern China. 2019-nCoV has an analogous receptor-BD-structure to that of 2018 SARS-CoV, even though there is a.a. diversity so thus the 2019-nCoV might bind to ACE2 receptor protein (angiotensin-converting enzyme 2) in humans.

      While bats are possibly the host of 2019-nCoV, researchers suspect that animal from the ocean sold at the seafood market was an intermediate host. RSCU analysis proposes that the 2019-nCoV is a recombinant within the viral spike glycoprotein between the bat coronavirus and an unknown coronavirus.

      H-Thr-Lys-Pro-Arg-Pro-Gly-Pro-OH.

    • Background

      Selank, also known as TP-7, is a synthetic peptide that has garnered significant attention in the scientific community due to its potential anxiolytic, neuroprotective, and nootropic effects. This heptapeptide, derived from the naturally occurring human tetrapeptide Tuftsin, has been shown to possess a wide range of biological activities, including enhancing memory, reducing anxiety, and potentially mitigating the effects of neurodegenerative diseases.

      Selank's primary mechanism of action involves its interaction with the GABAergic system, the body's main inhibitory neurotransmitter system. By modulating the activity of GABA receptors, Selank can exert a calming effect on the brain, reducing anxiety and enhancing cognitive function. Studies by Semenova et al. (2014) have demonstrated that Selank can enhance memory and learning in rats, suggesting potential applications in cognitive enhancement and the treatment of cognitive disorders.

      In addition to its anxiolytic and nootropic effects, Selank has been shown to possess neuroprotective properties. Research by Ershov et al. (2016) found that Selank could protect neurons from oxidative stress, suggesting potential applications in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

      Given its anxiolytic, nootropic, and neuroprotective effects, Selank has been proposed as a potential therapeutic agent for a variety of conditions, including anxiety disorders, cognitive disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases. For instance, a study by Medvedev et al. (2017) found that Selank could improve symptoms in patients with generalized anxiety disorder, indicating its potential as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of anxiety disorders.

      While research on Selank is promising, it is important to note that most studies have been conducted in animals or in vitro. More research is needed to fully understand the potential effects and applications of Selank in humans. However, the existing body of research suggests that Selank could be a promising tool in the treatment of anxiety disorders, cognitive disorders, and neurodegenerative diseases.

    • Background

      Semax, also known as ACTH(4-10) Pro-Gly-Pro, is a synthetic peptide that has been the subject of extensive research due to its potential neuroprotective and nootropic effects. This heptapeptide, derived from the adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), has been shown to possess a wide range of biological activities, including enhancing memory, learning, and neurogenesis.

      Semax is unique in its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and exert its effects directly on the central nervous system. It has been shown to stimulate the release of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a protein that plays a crucial role in the survival of neurons and the growth of new neurons and synapses. Studies by Dolotov et al. (2006) have demonstrated that Semax can enhance memory and learning in rats, suggesting potential applications in cognitive enhancement and the treatment of cognitive disorders.

      In addition to its nootropic effects, Semax has been shown to possess neuroprotective properties. Research by Stavchansky et al. (2008) found that Semax could protect neurons from oxidative stress and apoptosis, suggesting potential applications in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

      Given its nootropic and neuroprotective effects, Semax has been proposed as a potential therapeutic agent for a variety of conditions, including cognitive disorders, stroke, and optic nerve disease. For instance, a study by Myasoedov et al. (2010) found that Semax could improve outcomes in patients with ischemic stroke, indicating its potential as a therapeutic agent in stroke recovery.

      While research on Semax is promising, it is important to note that most studies have been conducted in animals or in vitro. More research is needed to fully understand the potential effects and applications of Semax in humans. However, the existing body of research suggests that Semax could be a promising tool in the treatment of cognitive disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.

      What is the molecular weight/Mw of SEMAX Protein?
      SEMAX Protein has a total Mw of 0.813kDa.
