- Product Overview:
Free fatty acid receptor 4 (FFAR4/GPR120) is a G protein-coupled receptor expressed in intestine, adipocytes, and pro-inflammatory macrophages that is activated by long chain free fatty acids.{27421,22326} ?-3 Fatty acids, such as docosahexaenoic acid (Item No. 90310) and eicosapentaenoic acid (Item No. 90110), initiate FFAR4 signaling, resulting in inhibition of toll-like receptor and TNF-? inflammatory signaling pathways in a ?-arrestin2/TAB1 dependent manner.{22326} AH 7614 is a selective FFAR4 antagonist (IC50s = 0.079 and 25 µM for human FFAR4 and FFAR1 receptors, respectively).{28870} In U2OS osteosarcoma cells expressing the FFAR4 receptor, it has been shown to inhibit intracellular calcium accumulation induced by either linoleic acid or an FFAR4 agonist.{28870}
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.
