suppressor

p53 tumor suppressor fragment (232-240) is a peptide with the sequence H2N-Lys-Tyr-Met-Cys-Asn-Ser-Ser-Cys-Met-OH, MW= 1066.3. p53 is a tumor suppressor protein that in humans is encoded by the TP53 gene. p53 is crucial in multicellular organisms, where i

Kisspeptin-10, human TFA is a potent vasoconstrictor and angiogenesis inhibitor. Kisspeptin-10, human TFA acts as a tumor metastasis suppressor via its receptor GPR54. Kisspeptin-10-GPR54 system plays an important role in embryonic kidney development. Kisspeptin-10/GPR54 signaling induces osteoblast differentiation via NFATc4-mediated BMP2 expression

Peptide derived from the tumor suppressor protein p16; inhibits cyclin-dependent kinase-4 (cdk4)/cyclin D1 (IC50 ~ 1.5 μM) and binds to cdk6.

Kisspeptin-54 is a peptide ligand of the orphan G protein-coupled receptor GPR54 (Kis = 1.81 and 1.45 nM for rat and human receptors, respectively).1 It is a 54 amino acid peptide encoded by the metastasis suppressor gene KISS-1. Kisspeptin-54 induces calcium mobilization in CHO-K1 cells expressing rat and human receptors (EC50s = 1.39 and 5.47 nM, respectively). It also induces arachidonic acid release in CHO cells expressing rat and human GPR54 in a concentration-dependent manner. Kisspeptin-54 (10-1,000 nM) inhibits insulin secretion from isolated mouse pancreatic β-cells in the presence of 2.8 mM, but not 11.1 mM, glucose.2 Kisspeptin-54 (1-5 nmol, i.c.v.) increases serum levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicular stimulating hormone (FSH) in mice, an effect which is reversed by the gonadotropin releasing hormone (GNRH) antagonist acycline.3References1.

Acyline is a novel GnRH antagonist found in animal studies to be a potent suppressor of circulating gonadotropin and testosterone (T) levels. Acyline inhibits basal and GnRH-stimulated serum testosterone concentrations in male dogs. Acyline prevented ovulation, but did not affect ovarian follicular development or gestational corpora lutea in the domestic cat. A single dose of the potent gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist acyline suppresses gonadotropins and testosterone for 2 weeks in healthy young men.

Nemifitide diTFA (INN 00835 diTFA) is a synthetic pentapeptide that can cross the blood-brain barrier and acts as a potent antidepressant, similar to melanocyte suppressor factor (MIF).

Atrial natriuretic factor (1-28) from both human and porcine sources is a potent suppressor of pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) mRNA, exerting only a modest inhibitory effect on βEP-LI release.
