Bovine Insulin Powder – Gamma Irradiated
700-912P

November 2, 2011 Stem Cell Culture Products 100 mg $395

Insulin is a polypeptide hormone produced in the pancreatic islets of Langerhans that has a molecular weight of ~5800 Da. Insulin primarily regulates the uptake and storage of glucose in cellular systems. It also plays a related role in the metabolism of certain amino acids and fatty acids. Bovine insulin is remarkably similar to human insulin, differing in molecular structure by only three amino acid residues.

Human Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha (TNF-a)
300-193P

November 2, 2011 Stem Cell Culture Products 50 µg $225

TNF is secreted by macrophages, monocytes, neutrophils, T-cells, NK- cells following their stimulation by bacterial LPS . Cells expressing CD4 secrete TNF-alpha while CD8 cells secrete little or no TNF-alpha. The synthesis of TNF- alpha is induced by many different stimuli including interferons, IL2, GM-CSF. Recombinant Human Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 158 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 17483.77 Dalton.
