- Product Overview:
GPR40 (free fatty acid receptor 1; FFAR1) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that is activated by saturated and unsaturated long chain fatty acids. It is thought to play a role in the potentiation of insulin secretion by fatty acids in a glucose-sensitive manner. GW 1100 is a selective antagonist of GPR40-mediated Ca2+ elevations in HEK293 cells stimulated by GW 9508 (an agonist of both GPR40 and GPR120 (FFAR4), another GPCR activated by long chain fatty acids) or linoleic acid with a pIC50 value equal to 5.99. However at concentrations up to 10 ?M, GW 1100 has no effect on GPR120-mediated stimulation of intracellular Ca2+ release induced by either GW 9508 or linoleic acid.{14194} In the MIN6 mouse insulinoma cell line, 1 ?M GW 1100 inhibits the potentiating effects of GW 9508 and linoleic acid on glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.{14194}
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
