The coupling modification of gABA
gABA(Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid)is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter of central nervous system in mammal, which mainly reduces the excitability of neurons. Besides the ability of directly adjusting the muscle tensity, gABA also has other functions, for instance, people will feel anxious and tired when he/she lacks gABA in the body. Consequently, gABA has great influences on normal physiological function of human being. gABA is a natural non-protein amino acid, which shares same molecular weight in different species. Aiming at this, Cloud-Clone Corp. developed a series of detection tools on gABA which includes coupling molecules, antibodies and Elisa kits. The development and mar......

Secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (SFRP5)-the target of Obesity Therapy
In recent years, obesity has increased dramatically. The metabolic diseases caused by obesity, including hypertension, coronary heart disease, high cholesterol, diabetes, fatty liver and gallbladder disease, cholelithiasis, etc. show a significant increase, obesity has gradually become one of the major health problems world widely. It is reported that the adipose tissue, as a secretary organ, can secrete proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory adipocytokines. These factors are beneficial to health. And the disorder of adipocytokine secretion may be the main reason for human obesity. Secreted frizzled-related protein 5 (SFRP5), belonging to secreted frizzled related protein (SFRP) famil......

Kidney injury molecule -1 (KIM-1) - an important indicator of early kidney disease
Recently, the global incidence of nephropathy showed an increasing trend. Besides cancer and heart disease, as the third largest "killer", it is very difficult for clinical physicians to make the diagnosis of early renal disease. This is mainly due to patients with early renal disease have no obvious symptoms, which is easy to delay treatment. So far, the indicators to determine kidney damage includes urine osmolality, osmotic pressure, serum creatinine, urea nitrogen, creatinine clearance rate and so on, but when these indicators increased, in most cases, serious kidney damage or irreversible damage has already appeared. Therefore, looking for new indicators for early detect......

The introduction of antibodies that specific to internal control protein (I)
Western Blot is a kind of experiment which is usually used for primarily verifying gene encoded products and discriminating the difference of protein quantity among different samples. As Western Blot includes lots of steps and reagents, when the result is not consistent to the predicted one, especially, all negative result or all positive results were shown, it is a very tough task to analyze what is wrong in the experiment. Based on this, it is recommended that a suitable reference system should be set up in a strict Western Blot experiment, and the reference system will be helpful for result analysis. A common used reference system includes several references, for instance, molecular......

TLR2-a Member of TLR Family Mediating Innate Immunity
Toll like receptors can recognize exogenous microbes and trigger a series of signal transduction, which will promote the release of inflammatory medium and initiate innate immunity. Currently, more than ten TLR family members have been found, the TLR2 is the most abundant one. It is widely distributed in monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells, epithelial cells and tumor cells. The pathogenic microorganisms TLR2 recognizes are much more than other members in TLR family. As TLR2 plays a key role in innate immunity, it has great theoretical and practical significance for research of immunity. Consequently, the Cloud-Clone Corp. develops a series of testing tools, including t......

Hi, I am HMGB1, Here is My Story
Hi, everybody, I am High Mobility Group protein B1 (HMGB1). My family contains three brothers---HMGB2 , HMGB3 and I. I am the big brother as I am the most widely distributed and abundant one. Though we look like each other in many ways, we are different. After a solemn presentation, now I will introduce myself more concretely. I once lived in the 13q12 chromosome (eg: human), then I grow up and become a non-histone protein which is located in the nucleus. When the cell is infected or physically injured, I will no longer stay leisurely and loosely, I will tightly bind to the DNA and be secreted out of the cell to send a signal to the immune system for repairing. This is how I induce th......
