The test principle applied in this kit is Sandwich enzyme immunoassay. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with an antibody specific to Human FAM5C. Standards or samples are added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells then with a biotin-conjugated antibody specific to Human FAM5C. Next,...

BRP (BRINP2-related peptide) is a 12-amino acid peptide, which was discovered through Peptide Predictor, a computational-functional approach based on prohormone convertase (PCSK) prohormone processing. BRP is generated by the cleavage of the 78-kDa secreted parent protein BRINP2 by enzymes such as PCSK1. The...

BRINP2-related peptide is an anorexigenic peptide. It is formed from BRINP2 via cleavage by proconvertases and is expressed in the brain and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). In vivo, BRINP2-related peptide (5 mg/kg) reduces food intake and increases the time between meals in mice. It reduces fasting glucose and insulin...

This gene is overexpressed in pituitary tumors but is underexpressed in tongue squamous cell carcinomas, ulcerative colitis, and peri-implantitis. Polymorphisms that increase expression of this gene have been shown to increase vascular inflammation, and an association of this gene with myocardial infarction has been...
