Antidiabetic and hyperglycemic peptide hormones

A calcium-dependent lectin with affinity for furanosides, such as galactofuranosyl in bacterial arabinogalactans. 30kD of apparent molecular weight of Omentin migrate at 40-kD under reducing conditions due to glycosylation.

Immunogen Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human PDX1 Biochem/physiol Actions The protein encoded by this gene is a transcriptional activator of several genes, including insulin, somatostatin, glucokinase, islet

General description The protein encoded by this gene coats lipid storage droplets in adipocytes, thereby protecting them until they can be broken down by hormone-sensitive lipase. The encoded protein is the major cAMP-dependent protein kinase

General description This gene encodes a protein which is phosphorylated by insulin receptor tyrosine kinase. Mutations in this gene are associated with type II diabetes and susceptibility to insulin resistance.

General description This gene encodes a protein which is phosphorylated by insulin receptor tyrosine kinase. Mutations in this gene are associated with type II diabetes and susceptibility to insulin resistance.

General description This gene encodes a death effector domain-containing protein that functions as a negative regulator of apoptosis. The encoded protein is an endogenous substrate for protein kinase C.

General description This gene encodes a death effector domain-containing protein that functions as a negative regulator of apoptosis. The encoded protein is an endogenous substrate for protein kinase C.

General description This gene encodes a polypeptide hormone precursor that undergoes extensive, tissue-specific, post-translational processing via cleavage by subtilisin-like enzymes known as prohormone convertases. There are eight potential

Immunogen Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human POPDC2 Biochem/physiol Actions POPDC2 is a member of the POP family of proteins which contain three putative transmembrane domains. This membrane associated protein is

General description Anti-Profilin 1 (N-terminal) is developed in rabbit using as immunogen a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid residues of human profilin 1, conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). Profilin 1 is a ubiquitous
