Asporin Protein, Human, Recombinant (His & SUMO) is expressed in E. coli expression system with N-6xHis-SUMO tag. The predicted molecular weight is 55.7 kDa and the accession number is Q9BXN1.

Thiol protease. Acts synergistically with RgpA to catalyze the maturation of fimbrial subunits, such as FimA. Its proteolytic activity is a major factor in both periodontal tissue destruction and in evasion of host defense mechanisms. Gingipain R2 Protein, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Recombinant (His) is expressed in E. coli expression system with C-10xHis tag. The predicted molecular weight is 57.1 kDa and the accession number is P95493.

Deiminates the guanidino group of C-terminal arginine residues on a variety of peptides, including the vasoregulatory peptide-hormone bradykinin, to yield ammonia and a citrulline residue. May promote the growth of the pathogen in the periodontal pocket by producing ammonia, ammonia having a protective effect during acidic cleaning cycles in the mouth. PAD Protein, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Recombinant (His) is expressed in E. coli expression system with N-6xHis tag. The predicted molecular weight is 60.9 kDa and the accession number is Q9RQJ2.

Thiol protease. Acts synergistically with RgpB to catalyze the maturation of fimbrial subunits, such as FimA. Its proteolytic activity is a major factor in both periodontal tissue destruction and in evasion of host defense mechanisms (Probable). Gingipain R1 Protein, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Recombinant (B2M & His) is expressed in E. coli expression system with N-6xHis-B2M tag. The predicted molecular weight is 68.0 kDa and the accession number is P28784.

May play a role in development of the periodontium which surrounds and supports the teeth by promoting the differentiation of multi-potent cells from the periodontal ligament into cementoblasts to form the cementum. Binds hydroxyapatite and may promote the biomineralization of the cementum. Also promotes cell proliferation. CEMP1 Protein, Human, Recombinant (His) is expressed in yeast with N-6xHis tag. The predicted molecular weight is 28.0 kDa and the accession number is Q6PRD7.

Thiol protease. Acts synergistically with RgpB to catalyze the maturation of fimbrial subunits, such as FimA. Its proteolytic activity is a major factor in both periodontal tissue destruction and in evasion of host defense mechanisms (Probable). Gingipain R1 Protein, Porphyromonas gingivalis, Recombinant (His) is expressed in yeast with N-6xHis tag. The predicted molecular weight is 56.0 kDa and the accession number is P28784.

Fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10) is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities, and are involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. FGF10 exhibits mitogenic activity for keratinizing epidermal cells, but essentially no activity for fibroblasts, which is similar to the biological activity of FGF7. FGF10 plays an important role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation and cell differentiation. FGF10 is required for normal branching morphogenesis. It may play a role in wound healing. Defects in FGF10 are the cause of autosomal dominant aplasia of lacrimal and salivary glands (ALSG). ALSG has variable expressivity, and affected individuals may have aplasia or hypoplasia of the lacrimal, parotid, submandibular and sublingual glands and absence of the lacrimal puncta. The disorder is characterized by irritable eyes, recurrent eye infections, epiphora (constant tearing) and xerostomia (dryness of the mouth), which increases the risk of dental erosion, dental caries, periodontal disease and oral infections.

Gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) is a neuropeptide with growth-stimulatory and tumorigenic properties, and neuropeptides have previously been suggested to play a role in the complex cascade of chemical activity associated with periodontal inflammation.

Serine protease inhibitor. Inhibits TMPRSS7. Is a primary inhibitor of tissue-type plasminogen activator (PLAT) and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (PLAU). As PLAT inhibitor, it is required for fibrinolysis down-regulation and is responsible for the controlled degradation of blood clots. As PLAU inhibitor, it is involved in the regulation of cell adhesion and spreading. Acts as a regulator of cell migration, independently of its role as protease inhibitor. It is required for stimulation of keratinocyte migration during cutaneous injury repair. Involved in cellular and replicative senescence. Plays a role in alveolar type 2 cells senescence in the lung. Is involved in the regulation of cementogenic differentiation of periodontal ligament stem cells, and regulates odontoblast differentiation and dentin formation during odontogenesis.
