  • The dopamine transporter (DAT) is a member of the SLC6 family of transporters and is encoded by the SLC6A3 gene in humans.{55189,55190} DAT is expressed in dopaminergic neurons and localizes to perisynaptic sites, where it functions to translocate the neurotransmitter dopamine (DA; Item No. 21992) into presynaptic neurons from the extracellular space.{55191,55189} It is comprised of 12 transmembrane helices flanked by large cytoplasmic N- and C-terminal tails that are subject to protein-protein interactions with DAT binding proteins as well as posttranslational modifications.{55189,55191} DAT can be phosphorylated by ERK at threonine 53 (Thr53) in vitro.{55192} Phosphorylation of DAT at Thr53 (phospho-Thr53) is increased in rat striatal synaptosomes in response to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA; Item No. 10008014), okadaic acid (Item No. 10011490), amphetamine, or methamphetamine.{55192,55193} In vivo, phospho-Thr53 in rat striatum is increased following administration of methamphetamine.{55193} LLC-PK1 cells expressing rat DAT (rDAT) with non-phosphorylatable or phosphomimetic Thr53 mutations exhibit defects in DA uptake and amphetamine-induced efflux of the substrate [3H]MPP+ compared to cells expressing wild-type rDAT, indicating that phosphorylation of Thr53 has roles in regulating the uptake and efflux functions of DAT.{55192} Cayman’s Dopamine Transporter (Phospho-Thr53) Polyclonal Antibody can be used for Western blot (WB) applications. The antibody recognizes DAT (phospho-Thr53) at approximately 55 kDa from mouse and rat samples.

  • Doppel is a homolog of the cellular prion protein. Like prion protein, doppel has two N-linked oligosaccharides, and is presented on the cell surface via a glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor.{11663} Unlike prion protein, it lacks the conformationally plastic and octapeptide repeat domains.{11604} The primary physiological role of doppel protein remains to be determined, but there is some evidence suggesting that cell surface prion protein can antagonize the toxic effect of doppel expressed in the central nervous system.{11663} In addition, the protein may play a major role in human male fertility, given its expression on both sertoli cells and spermatozoa.{11666} Doppel is differentially glycosylated, causing it to migrate at multiple sizes on SDS-PAGE.{11663} Cayman’s Doppel Polyclonal Antibody can be used for immunohistochemistry and Western blot applications. The antibody recognizes Doppel at 19 kDa (nonglycosylated) and 25 kDa (monoglycosylated) from human, mouse, and rat samples.

  • The DP1 receptor is one of two receptor isoforms for prostaglandin D2 (PGD2), a major cyclooxygenase metabolite of arachidonic acid. As a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR), the receptor primarily couples to Gs to increase cAMP, but also transiently increases Ca2+, apparently through the cAMP pathway.{11488} DP1 receptor mRNA has been detected in various tissues and cells including brain, spleen, lung, bone marrow, stomach, skin, and mast cells,{3175, 3128,9114} however little is know about its protein localization due to its low level of expression. Cayman’s DP1 receptor polyclonal antibody detects the protein by western blot in samples such as cerebral cortex, hippocampus, and HT-29 cells, a colorectal cancer cell line shown to express this receptor.{12254}

  • In response to stimuli, neutrophils have the ability to release net-like structures containing nuclear DNA, de-condensed histones, and antimicrobial peptides.{19770} These neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have the ability to contact and kill pathogens including fungi, bacteria, and protozoa; they are then rapidly cleared by the immune system.{24590,24587,25672} However, in aged NZBWF1 mice and human lupus patients, the clearance is delayed, allowing formation of antibodies to these NET components. Cayman’s dsDNA Monoclonal Antibody was developed by fusing the spleen of a non-immunized NZBWF1 mouse with a mouse myeloma cell line. It detects dsDNA by ELISA and can be used to stain NETs by immunofluorescence.

  • Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), also known as HER1 and ERBB1, is a cell surface receptor and member of the EGF family of receptor tyrosine kinases with roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival.{54146,54144} It is a transmembrane receptor composed of an intracellular tyrosine kinase domain, a transmembrane lipophilic segment, and an extracellular domain that is expressed in epithelial, mesenchymal, and neuronal tissues.{54146,54144,54147} Under unstimulated conditions, EGFR is an auto-inhibited monomer in the plasma membrane.{54146} Upon canonical ligand binding, EGFR undergoes homodimerization or heterodimerization with HER2, HER3, or HER4, which induces a conformational change in the cytoplasmic domain that facilitates autophosphorylation and intracellular signaling. EGFR contains five C-terminal autophosphorylation sites, tyrosine 1068 (Tyr1068), Tyr1148, Tyr1173, Tyr1086, and Tyr992.{60064} EGFR autophosphorylation at Tyr1173 (phospho-Tyr1173) leads to interaction with phospholipase Cγ (PLCγ) and Shc, which have roles in activating the MAPK signaling pathway. Increased levels of EGFR (phospho-Tyr1173) are associated with poor progression-free survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Levels of EGFR (phospho-Tyr1173) are increased in, and positively correlate with activation of MAPK signaling and cytokine production in, bronchial epithelial biopsies from healthy individuals exposed to diesel exhaust.{60065} Cayman’s EGFR (Phospho-Tyr1173) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody can be used for immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western blot (WB) applications.

  • Endothelial lipase (EL) is a major genetic determinant for the concentration, structure, and metabolism of high-density lipoprotein, which protects against atherosclerosis.{11500, 11501} It was originally cloned from endothelial cells and found to be expressed in a distinct and complementary tissue-restricted fashion, with high-level expression in the liver, placenta, lung, ovary, and macrophage.{11293} Immunohistochemical studies demonstrate that EL is expressed in infiltrating cells such as macrophages within atheromatous plaques, in addition to endothelial and smooth muscle cells in non-atherosclerotic coronary arteries. Furthermore, EL expression is detected in the neovasculature within atheromatous plaques in atherosclerotic coronary arteries, indicating that EL may have unique functional roles in atherosclerosis.{11499} Cayman Chemical’s EL polyclonal antibody can be used for western blot and immunohistochemical analysis for EL on samples of human, murine, rat, porcine, and ovine origin. Other applications for use of this antibody have not yet been tested.

  • Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is one of the most important biologically active prostanoids which exerts its actions mainly by binding to four distinct E-type prostanoid receptors: EP1, EP2, EP3, and EP4. These four G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) exhibit differences in signal transduction mechanisms, tissue localization, and regulation of expression. EP2 receptors are expressed in many tissues and cells to mediate various PGE2 actions. The receptors couple to Gs to stimulate the cAMP second messenger signal transduction pathway. EP2 receptors play important roles in mucosal protection, gastrointestinal secretion, and motility. The diverse effects of PGE2 acting via EP2 receptors make it an interesting drug target. Therefore, EP2 subtype selective agonists, antagonists, and modulators have been identified with potential therapeutic applications.

  • The EP2 receptor is one of four GPCRs that mediate the actions of PGE2. The diverse effects of PGE2 acting via EP2 receptors point to the need to identify novel agonists and antagonists, both to further elucidate the function of this receptor subtype and for use as therapeutics for various diseases. Cayman’s EP2 Receptor (rat) Reporter Assay Kit consists of a 96-well plate coated with a transfection complex containing DNA constructs for rat EP2 receptor and a cAMP response element regulated Secreted Alkaline Phosphatase (SEAP) reporter (EP2 Receptor Reverse Transfection Plate). Cells grown on the transfection complex will express EP2 at the cell surface. Binding of agonists to EP2 initiates a signal transduction cascade resulting in expression of SEAP which is secreted into the cell culture media. Aliquots of media are removed at time intervals, beginning at approximately six hours, and SEAP activity is measured following addition of a luminescence-based alkaline phosphatase substrate provided in the kit. The kit is simple to use and can be easily adapted to high throughput screening for therapeutic compounds regulating the activation of EP2. PGE2 is included in the kit for use as a positive control. The kit provides sufficient reagents to measure SEAP activity at three time points using the black plates included.

  • Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is one of the most important biologically active prostanoids which exerts its actions mainly by binding to four distinct E-type prostanoid receptors: EP1, EP2, EP3, and EP4. These four G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) exhibit differences in signal transduction mechanisms, tissue localization, and regulation of expression. EP4 receptors are highly expressed in the intestine, but are found in lower levels in the lung, kidney, thymus, uterus, and brain. The receptors are primarily coupled to Gs to stimulate the cAMP second messenger signal transduction pathway. EP4 receptors play important roles in relaxation of smooth muscle, gastric acid secretion, intestinal epithelial transportation, adrenal aldosterone secretion, uterine functions, bone formation, bone resorption, immunity, and inflammation. They have been suggested to involve in colorectal carcinogenesis, neuroprotection in excitotoxic brain injury, and cardiac hypertrophy. The diverse effects of PGE2 via EP4 receptors point to the need to identify novel agonists, antagonists, and modulators, both to further elucidate the function of this receptor subtype and for use as therapeutics for various diseases.

  • The EP4 receptor is one of four GPCRs that mediate the actions of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). The diverse effects of PGE2 acting via EP4 receptors point to the need to identify novel agonists and antagonists, both to further elucidate the function of this receptor subtype and for use as therapeutics for various diseases. Cayman’s EP4 Receptor (rat) Activation Assay Kit (cAMP) consists of a 96-well plate coated with a transfection complex containing a DNA construct for rat EP4 Receptor (EP4 Reverse Transfection Strip Plate). Cells grown on the transfection complex will express EP4 at the cell surface. Binding of agonists to EP4 stimulates cAMP generation and increases intracellular cAMP levels, which can be measured by a competitive EIA using the Mouse Anti-Rabbit IgG Coated Plate and the reagents included in the kit. An EP4 agonist, PGE2, is included in the kit as a positive control.

Cells grown on the transfection complex will express EP4 at the cell surface. Binding of agonists to EP4 initiates a signal transduction cascade resulting in expression of SEAP which is secreted into the cell culture media. Aliquots of media are removed at time intervals, beginning at approximately six hours, and SEAP activity is measured following addition of a luminescence-based alkaline phosphatase substrate provided in the kit. The kit is simple to use and can be easily adapted to high throughput screening for therapeutic compounds regulating the activation of EP4. PGE2 is included in the kit for use as a positive control. The kit provides sufficient reagents to measure SEAP activity at three time points using the black plates included.

  • Extracellular-signal-regulated kinase/mitogen-activated protein kinases (ERK/MAPKs) are a widely conserved family of serine/threonine protein kinases and essential components of the MAP kinase signaling cascade.{53684,53685} Upon extracellular stimulation with mitogens, growth factors, or cytokines, a sequential three-part signaling cascade is initiated that terminates with phosphorylation of ERK/MAPK by MEK1 or MEK2. Activated ERK/MAPK is translocated to the nucleus where it regulates transcription factor activity and gene transcription for a variety of cellular processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, and stress response. Misregulation of the MAP kinase cascade drives development of various cancers. ERK1/MAPK3 and ERK2/MAPK1 are two key members of the ERK/MAPK family encoded by MAPK3 and MAPK1, respectively, in humans and are expressed in all tissues. Cayman’s ERK/MAPK Polyclonal Antibody can be used for immunocytochemistry (ICC) and Western blot (WB) applications. The antibody recognizes ERK1/MAPK3 and ERK2/MAPK1 at approximately 44 and 42 kDa, respectively from human, mouse, and rat samples.

  • Fatty acid binding protein 4 (AFABP; adipocyte FABP; FABP4) is a 15 kDa member of the intracellular FABP family, which is known for the ability to bind fatty acids and related compounds (bile acids or retinoids). AFABP is expressed in a differentiation-dependent fashion in adipocytes and is a critical gene in the regulation of the biological function of these cells. In mice, targeted mutations in FABP4 (gene also called: aP2) provides significant protection from hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance in the context of both dietary and genetic obesity. AFABP is also expressed in macrophages where it modulates inflammatory responses and cholesterol ester accumulation. Total or macrophage-specific FABP deficiency confers dramatic protection against atherosclerosis in apoE-/- mice. These results indicate a central role for AFABP in development of metabolic diseases through its distinct actions in adipocytes and macrophages. This Enzyme Immunometric Assay (EIA) is based on a double-antibody sandwich technique. The wells of the plate supplied with the kit are coated with a goat polyclonal antibody specific of human AFABP. This antibody will bind any human AFABP introduced in the wells (sample or standard). [Bertin Catalog No. A05181]

  • Fatty acid binding protein 4 (Adipocyte-FABP, aP2, FABP4) is one of nine known cytosolic fatty acid binding proteins ranging in size from 14-15 kDa containing 127-132 amino acids.{11979} FABP4 is highly expressed in adipocytes and is regulated by peroxisome-proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) agonists, insulin and fatty acids. Recent studies using FABP4 gene deletion in mice indicate a dominant role for FABP4 in several chronic metabolic diseases. Therefore, inhibiting the function of FABP4 is a potential mechanism for the treatment of metabolic diseases like diabetes and atherosclerosis.{14840,12286} Cayman’s FABP4 Ligand Binding Assay Kit provides a simple, reproducible, and sensitive tool for the identification of FABP4 ligands. The assay makes use of a Detection Reagent that exhibits increased fluorescence at 500 nm when bound to FABP4. Any strong ligand and/or inhibitor of FABP4 will displace the Detection Reagent thereby reducing the fluorescence. FABP4 is provided in high purity and in sufficient quantity for 100 tests.

  • The endocannabinoid system is a ubiquitous lipid signaling system involved in various regulatory functions throughout the body. The primary endocannabinoids, arachidonoylethanolamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonoyl glycerol (2-AG), are released upon demand from lipid precursors and bind to cannabinoid (CB1) receptors in the brain or CB2 receptors in the peripheral tissues. Fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) is a cytosolic serine hydrolase responsible for the degradation of fatty acid amides, including AEA. Finding inhibitors to FAAH could offer a beneficial approach toward the treatment of pain, obesity, and various neurological diseases where higher endocannabinoid activity would be beneficial. Cayman’s FAAH Inhibitor Screening Assay Kit provides a convenient fluorescence-based method for screening FAAH inhibitors. FAAH hydrolyzes AMC-arachidonoyl amide resulting in the release of the fluorescent product, 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC). The fluorophore can be easily analyzed using an excitation wavelength of 340-360 nm and an emission wavelength of 450-465 nm.

  • Free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFAR1)/GPR40 is a G protein-coupled receptor for long-chain fatty acids such as docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid ω-3 fatty acids. It is involved in the regulation of insulin release from pancreatic β cells and mediates triglyceride-induced secretion of incretins GLP-1 and GIP from intestinal endocrine cells. Cayman’s FFAR1 (GPR40) Reporter Assay Kit consists of a 96-well plate coated with a transfection complex containing DNA constructs for FFAR1, an engineered G protein that directs Gαq activation signals to the Gαs pathway, and a cAMP response element-regulated secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP) reporter (FFAR1 reverse transfection strip plate). Cells grown on the transfection complex will express FFAR1 at the cell surface and the recombinant G protein inside the cell. Binding of agonists to FFAR1 initiates a signal transduction cascade resulting in expression of SEAP, which is secreted into the cell culture medium. Aliquots of culture medium are collected 16-24 hours after stimulation and SEAP activity is measured following addition of a luminescence-based alkaline phosphatase substrate provided in the kit. The kit is easy to use and can be readily applied to high-throughput screening for therapeutic compounds regulating activation of FFAR1. A known FFAR1 agonist, GW 9508, is included in the kit for use as a positive control. The kit provides sufficient reagent to measure SEAP activity at three time points using the three included white assay plates.

  • Follicle-Stimulating hormone (FSH) is a glycoprotein produced by the pituitary gland and consists of two subunits with an approximate total molecular mass of 35 kDa. In males, FSH acts on the Sertoli cells of the testis to stimulate the synthesis of androgen-binding protein, which is indirectly involved in stimulating spermatogenesis. FSH also stimulates the secretion of inhibin, which acts by a negative feedback mechanism to inhibit further production of FSH by the pituitary. In females, FSH acts on the granulosa cells of the ovary to stimulate steroidogenesis, and to stimulate and sustain the development of a follicle leading up to ovulation. Cayman’s Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (human) ELISA Kit is an immunometric (i.e., sandwich) ELISA that permits FSH measurements within the range of 0.6-100 mIU/ml. This assay offers specific and sensitive analysis of FSH in human serum and has not been validated for other types of samples.

  • Formyl peptide receptor 2 (FPR2) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR).{42688} It is encoded by FPR2 and is expressed in lung, kidney, spleen, placenta, macrophages, peripheral blood leukocytes, synovial fibroblasts, T cells, and intestinal epithelial cells. FPR2 is coupled to the Gi/o transduction pathway and is activated by various ligands including formyl peptides from bacteria and mitochondria, endogenous and aspirin-triggered resolvin D1, lipoxin A4 (Item No. 90410), annexin A1 (Item No. 19881), amyloid-β (1-42) (Aβ42; Item No. 20574), and prion protein (106-126) (Item No. 24556), among others.{42688,42689,42690} Activation of FPR2 by formylated bacterial peptides increases monocyte chemotaxis and neutrophil recruitment in vitro, and fpr2-/- mice exhibit increased bacterial load and reduced neutrophil infiltration in response to L. monocytogenes infection.{42691} FPR2 activation by resolvin D1 (Item No. 10012554) reduces production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and reduces inflammatory pain in various murine models.{42687} Expression of FPR2 is increased in mononuclear phagocytes in postmortem brain tissue from patients with Alzheimer’s disease and transient interaction of Aβ42 with FPR2 promotes receptor complex internalization and cytosolic deposition of Aβ42 in macrophages.{42692} Cayman’s FPR2 (C-Term) Polyclonal Antibody can be used for Western blot and immunohistochemistry (IHC) applications. The antibody recognizes the C-terminus of FPR2 from human samples.

  • Fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) protein is a nuclear-residing N6-methyladenosine (m6A) RNA demethylase that is encoded by the FTO gene in humans.{48528,19167,48529} It is composed of an N-terminal domain similar in structure to members of the AlkB non-heme iron-containing dioxygenase family and a C-terminal domain that is not similar to other known domains.{35510} The N-terminal domain contains a loop not found in other AlkB proteins that may be responsible for its specificity for single-stranded nucleic acids. FTO is highly expressed during development and in the adult brain, adipose tissue, and muscle and its expression is modified by the availability of essential amino acids in vitro and following fasting or a chronic high-fat diet in vivo in mice.{48529,48530,48531} FTO regulates mRNA splicing and is required for adipogenesis.{48528,48532} Knockdown of Fto in mice increases m6A-containing transcripts of the adipogenesis-related gene Runx1t1, enhances binding of the splicing regulatory protein Srsf2 to Runx1t1, which induces the inclusion of Runx1t1 exon 6 and the production of long Runx1t1 transcripts, and leads to inhibition of pre-adipocyte differentiation. Fto is associated with obesity in transgenic mouse models, with overexpression increasing food intake and weight gain and knockout reducing body weight, body length, fat mass, and white adipose tissue, as well as increasing energy expenditure while decreasing locomotor activity.{19167} FTO SNPs are associated with body mass index and obesity risk in humans.{48531,48533} Cayman’s FTO (human) Monoclonal Antibody (Clone 6B6) can be used for ELISA, immunofluorescence (IF), and Western blot (WB) applications.
