- Product Overview:
To be used in conjunction with Cayman’s CysLT2 Receptor (C-Term) Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog No. 120550) to block protein-antibody complex formation during analysis for CysLT2 Receptor (C-Term) · The cysteinyl leukotrienes (cysLTs; LTC4, LTD4, and LTE4) contract airway and pulmonary vascular smooth muscle, increase vascular permeability, and stimulate mucus secretion, thereby playing a major role in asthma.{3956,4157,7174,8519} LTC4, LTD4, and LTE4 mediate their actions via at least two receptors designated CysLT1 and CysLT2.{3956} Cloning of the human CysLT2 receptor reveals it is a 346 amino acid protein with 38% homology to the CysLT1 receptor.{2069,9059} The rank order of binding for leukotrienes to the cloned receptor, as determined using a radioligand binding assay, is LTC4 = LTD4 >> LTE4.{2069} The mRNA for the human CysLT2 receptor is expressed in lung macrophages, airway smooth muscle, cardiac Purkinje cells, adrenal medulla cells, peripheral blood leukocytes, spleen, placenta, and brain.{2069,3783}
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.
