Mouse Monoclonal Antibody to S-Adenosylmethionine (Clone 118-18) is for Research Use Only.

 

EagleBio’s Mouse Monoclonal Antibody To S-Adenosylmethionine (Clone 118-18) was recently used in a study by the Department of Molecular and Cellular Oncology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas.  This antibody has the following reactivities with related compounds: S-Adenosylmethionine: 100%, S-Adenosylhomocysteine: <1%, Adenosine: <1%, L-Methionine: <1%.

 

PRMT1-mediated methylation of the EGF receptor regulates signaling and cetuximab response

Posttranslational modifications to the intracellular domain of the EGFR are known to regulate EGFR functions; however, modifications to the extracellular domain and their effects remain relatively unexplored. Here, we determined that methylation at R198 and R200 of the EGFR extracellular domain by protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1) enhances binding to EGF and subsequent receptor dimerization and signaling activation.

New Enhancements to
EagleBio’s SDMA Assay that is for the quantitative determination of SDMA
(Symmetric Dimethylarginine) in serum or plasma.

Nashua, NH March 7, 2016: Eagle Biosciences today announced the launch
of a new generation SDMA
(Symmetric Dimethylarginine) ELISA . This assay was developed and is manufactured
by DLD Diagnostika GmbH (www.DLD-Diagnostika.de)
in Germany. DLD is a worldwide leader in niche tests for autoimmune and
cardiovascular diseases as well as renal dysfunction.

“The enhancements that have been made to the SDMA
ELISA will be truly beneficial to our customers. It now offers a shorter incubation time,
smaller sample volume, and can be used with additional species such as canine
and feline. The new SDMA
Fast ELISA is now very fast and precise, delivering results in less
than 3 hours.“ said Dan Keefe, President of Eagle Biosciences.

This SDMA ELISA from Eagle Biosciences is currently for research
use only. Check out the links below,

Dopamine is produced in the rat spinal cord and regulates micturition reflex after spinal cord injury

Dopamine (DA) neurons in the mammalian central nervous system are thought to be restricted to the brain. DA-mediated regulation of urinary activity is considered to occur through an interaction between midbrain DA neurons and the pontine micturition center. Read More
