ACTH - Adrenocoticotropic Hormone: For Human Use?

When people think of hormones, they tend to think all are for human consumption for some expected growth outcome or another. The truth is that most hormones people search for are test kits only for detecting certain hormones within the body.

ACTH is produced by the pituitary gland and is a hormone that stimulates the release of adrenaline from the adrenal glands. When this hormone is present, it causes the release of cortisol. Man made adrenocorticotropic hormone is called cosyntropin. The ACTH test is used to determine how well adrenal glands respond to the hormone for the release of cortisol, so it is then not something made for human consumption but most commonly found in an ELISA kit - used for testing for the presence of a particular hormone, protein or just about any other substance commonly tested for in research laboratories. The primary use for such kits is medical and can be ordered from a variety of sources including MyBioSource.

What is mSHH? A Guide to Biotech Semantics and ProteinS

Here's a uniprot summary for mSHH - (Sonic HedgeHog) - no, not the game!

Function: Binds to the patched (PTC) receptor, which functions in association with smoothened (SMO), to activate the transcription of target genes. In the absence of SHH, PTC represses the constitutive signaling activity of SMO. Also regulates another target, the gli oncogene. Intercellular signal essential for a variety of patterning events during development: signal produced by the notochord that induces ventral cell fate in the neural tube and somites, and the polarizing signal for patterning of the anterior-posterior axis of the developing limb bud. Displays both floor plate- and motor neuron-inducing activity. The threshold concentration of N-product required for motor neuron induction is 5-fold lower than that required for floor plate induction.

Antibodies are the Future of Biotech - and Survival on Planet Earth!

Did you know that antibodies are the result of your immune system acting intelligently? When a pathogen is introduced into your system (bodily fluids), then a B cell finds the antigen. After that, your immune system grabs ahold of it like a combination lock and if you have the combo, you are able to neutralize the pathogen because your body has the proper antibody. If not, then you might come down with the symptoms of the particular sickness. That's awesome when you think about how immunizations are made! Interested in a career in biotechnology? You might just be glad you checked it out.

ELISA Kits are the New Wave of Biotech Supply in the United States

New suppliers popping up all the time for biotech supplies, but many buy a large surplus of nearly expiring kits, then sell them cheap ... then close their doors!

Get your supplies from a trusted supplier who makes orders on the same day, fresh for all your sensitive reagents and assays. You guessed it, only at http://www.mybiosource.com/ELISA-Kit/

Elisa testing kits come from all over the world, so choose wisely when looking for an accurate measurement. My Bio Source ships directly from San Diego and we ensure the highest accuracy which our return clients have come to enjoy and appreciate. When you're working on a timeline and have deadlines for your research project, then there's no time to waste, especially if you're losing time with inaccurate testing kits. Our world depends on the careful research and outcomes of that research in order to make it a better tomorrow, and that's what fuels our desire to get our clients only the purest and most accurate ELISA protocol.

New Technology for SCF (Mouse) Recombinant Protein

Thanks to some innovative scientists on staff, we have found a great product for a hematopoietic growth factor exerting activity through the c-kit receptor which are essential for proliferation of hematopoeitic cells in the germ cell and melanocyte lineages.

SCF (Mouse) on Human Cells

The main benefit is that mouse and rat SCF are highly active on human cells but human cells are not so active. Perfect for your lab. Get one from MyBioSource-
