Proteins & Peptides

Proteins and peptides are macromolecules that perform a multitude of vital functions, many of which are indispensable to life. These include cytokines, neurotrophins, growth factors, signaling proteins, viral and bacterial antigens, human immunoglobulins, and numerous other biological entities. With a wealth of knowledge in the field of neuroscience, we are certain that we can offer you a wide range of affordable, high-quality neuroproteins and peptides to help you expedite your drug development efforts for neurological disease targets.

Applications

• Physiological & Pathological Research

The causal relationship between pathogenic mutations and increased protein aggregation is a key feature of neurodegenerative diseases, such as those encoding amyloid precursor protein (AD), tau protein (AD), alpha-synuclein (PD), etc. We are delighted to provide a variety of active recombinant proteins for neurodegenerative disease research, assisting you to discover ways to prevent protein aggregation, facilitate precipitate clearance, or induce their recovery.

• In Vitro Modeling

Chronic neuroinflammation has been linked to the advancement of neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and multiple sclerosis (MS). Cytokines are a common stimulus that induces inflammation and can be employed to induce in vitro neuroinflammatory models. Cytokines activate related receptors, thereby initiating key intracellular signaling pathways. The following cytokines have been identified as key stimuli in neuroinflammatory processes: IFN-γ, IL-33, TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6.

• Enzyme Assay

Enzymes are essential proteins crucial for chemical processes and are employed extensively in the development of pharmaceuticals and biological research. Our product list contains a variety of proteins that can be used to initiate enzyme signaling, including from a variety of animal sources.

BBB Shuttle Proteins

Transcytosis is a phenomenon that occurs in a multitude of cell types. At Creative Biolabs, we employ receptor-mediated transcytosis (RMT) to develop engineered carriers (BBB shuttle proteins) to improve blood-brain barrier (BBB) crossing. The protein-based engineered carrier is expected to significantly enhance the ability of macromolecules to reach the brain, thereby accelerating central nervous system disease research.
