- Product Overview:
Apelin-12 is a 12-amino acid peptide fragment corresponding to residues 66-77 of apelin and an endogenous agonist of the apelin receptor (APJ), with roles in viral immunity, digestion, cell cycle regulation, and vasodilation.{69069} It induces calcium mobilization in APJ-G?q16 cells expressing human APJ (EC50 = 0.18 nM). Apelin-12 inhibits HIV-1 and HIV-2 infection in NP-2/CD4/APJ cells (mean IC50 = 63 µg/ml).{18226} It inhibits or stimulates the expression of genes associated with apoptosis, mitosis, and DNA repair in IEC-6 and Caco-2 cells, respectively, when used at a concentration of 0.01 µM.{69070} Apelin-12 (100-1,000 nM) induces the production of nitric oxide (NO) via PI3K and Akt signaling pathways in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs).{69071} In vivo, apelin-12 (20-100 µg/kg) increases gastric acid secretion, as well as stomach histamine synthesis and secretion, in rats.{69072} It also reduces mean arterial pressure (MAP) in rats when administered at a dose of 15 µg/kg.{69073}
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.
