Inhibitor of factor Xa

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are a family of kinases that regulate the cell cycle and gene transcription. Cyclin-dependent kinase 7 (CDK7) forms a trimeric complex with cyclin H and MAT1, which functions as a Cdk-activating kinase (CAK) and promotes cell cycle progression. CDK7 is an essential component of the transcription factor TFIIH, involved in DNA repair. CDK7 is also implicated in mRNA processing, transcription activation, pause induction, and pause release.CDK8 associates with the mediator complex and regulates transcription via several mechanisms, including influencing binding of RNA polymerase II to the mediator complex. CDK8 phosphorylates the Notch intracellular domain, SREBP, and STAT1. Its regulatory subunit is cyclin C. CDK9 is a component of the TAK/P-TEFb complex, which phosphorylates the part of RNA polymerase II. Its regulatory subunit is cyclin T or cyclin K. CDK9 interacts with HIV-1 Tat protein and TRAF2, and is involved in the differentiation of skeletal muscle.CDKs are often over expressed in cancers and may correlate with poor prognosis. This peptide is based on the C-terminal of RNA polymerase II and is used in kinase assays.

This peptide is phosphorylated by Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) and is an ideal substrate for use in kinase assays. The JAK family of kinases is essential for the signalling of a host of immune modulators in tumour, stromal, and immune cells where they are highly expressed. JAK family proteins mediate the signalling of the interferon (IFN), IL-6, and IL-2 families of cytokines.JAK kinases are associated with cytokine receptors. Cytokine binding to these receptors results in activation of JAK kinases and receptor phosphorylation. Phosphorylated cytokine receptors recruit STAT proteins, which are then phosphorylated by the activated JAK kinases. Phosphorylated STAT proteins form homo- and hetero-dimers that translocate into the nucleus and function as transcription factors.

Dihydrocyclosporin A is an immunosuppressant, which is a cyclic undecapeptide derived from fungal metabolites, specifically from the soil fungus Tolypocladium inflatum. This compound functions through the inhibition of calcineurin, which is a crucial phosphatase involved in the activation of T-cells. By binding to the intracellular protein cyclophilin, Dihydrocyclosporin A forms a complex that inhibits calcineurin activity, subsequently blocking the transcription of interleukin-2 and other cytokines essential for T-cell proliferation. The primary use of Dihydrocyclosporin A is in preventing organ transplant rejection, where it helps to maintain graft survival by curtailing the host's immune response against the transplanted organ. Additionally, it may be employed in treating autoimmune diseases, such as psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis, where excessive immune activity causes tissue damage. As an expert in the field, it is crucial to understand the pharmacodynamics and precise molecular interactions that underlie its use, ensuring therapeutic efficacy while minimizing potential adverse effects.

Abltide represents the optimal substrate peptide of Abl (or c-Abl), a non-receptor tyrosine kinase (NRTK) and the oncogenic Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase (TK) (formed via a fusion between the Abelson (Abl) TK gene and the break point cluster region protein Brc). Abl was discovered as the gene from which the Abelson leukaemia virus derived its Gag-v-Abl oncogene.TKs are critical enzymes involved in multiple signalling pathways. However, Tks can promote cancer progression when deregulated, for example deregulated TK, Bcr-Abl gives rise to chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) and Philadelphia chromosome-positive acute lymphocytic leukaemia (Ph+ ALL).Abl is activated by various signals including: growth factors, cytokines, cell adhesion, DNA damage and oxidative stress and results in the stimulation of both pro- and anti-apoptotic roles, cell proliferation or differentiation, retraction, or migration. Abl phosphorylates a large number of functionally diverse substrates, in part due to its ability to shuttle between the cytosol and the nucleus and bind both DNA and actin&mdash-two biopolymers with fundamental roles in almost all biological processes.
