- Product Overview:
WD repeats are motifs of approximately 40 amino acids typically terminating in conserved tryptophan and aspartate residues. Several WD40 repeats combine to form the structural WD domain. Such an arrangement facilitates protein-protein interactions allowing the formation of multiprotein complexes.{19567} Human WDR5 contains seven WD 40 repeats and was originally identified to accelerate osteoblast differentiation.{19566} WDR5 has been demonstrated to bind histone H3 by recognizing the first three amino acids of the N-terminal tail.{19564} Binding of WDR5 to a conserved arginine-containing motif in MLL-1, the so-called WDR5 interaction (“Win”) motif, promotes the assembly and activity of the MLL core complex.{19563} Additional interactions have been demonstrated with other components of the human MLL core protein complex, which includes ASH2L and RbBP5.{19568,19551} MLL1-5 protein complexes catalyze the di- and trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 4 (H3K4me2/me3), leading to the maintenance of global H3K4 trimethylation.{19556}
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.
