unfolded protein response UPR protein endoplasmic reticulum folding chaperone ER stress

Product Overview:
The unfolded protein response (UPR) maintains balance between protein synthesis and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) protein-folding by inhibiting translation to decrease global protein synthesis, increasing degradation and disposal of unfolded protein intermediates from the ER, and increasing the folding capacity of the ER by expanding its volume and increasing chaperone synthesis. Chronic ER stress leads to a defective UPR and is strongly associated with neurodegenerative diseases, cancers, and metabolic syndrome. Azoramide is a small molecule that has been shown to improve ER protein-folding ability by dose-dependently (1-25 µM) activating reporter genes whose expression is driven by the cellular UPR response element and the ER stress response element.{29136} At 1-25 µM, this compound can also stimulate the expression of multiple chaperone proteins to enhance ER chaperone capacity and induce phosphorylation of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α subunit (eIF2α) to reduce protein synthesis.{29136} At 150 mg/kg, azoramide exerts antidiabetic activity in both ob/ob and diet-induced obese mice, improving insulin sensitivity and glucose homeostasis, as well as protecting pancreatic β cells against ER stress.{29136}

Cayman Chemical's mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.

Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.

Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.

Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
