Creative BioMart, a leading provider of recombinant protein and custom protein services, announces that it now offers a wide range of biomarker proteins for research use.
Biomarker proteins are molecules that can be used to measure and monitor biological processes, including those associated with disease. They have the potential to revolutionize medicine by enabling personalized healthcare and early disease detection.
Creative BioMart's biomarker protein catalog includes a variety of proteins that have been implicated in a wide range of diseases, including:
· Cancer
· Heart disease
· Infectious diseases
· Neurological disorders
· Autoimmune diseases
· Inflammatory diseases
Some of the genes that these biomarker proteins are encoded by include: ACP1, ACPP, ACVRL1, ADM, AFP, EGFR, CD38, CDH1, IL6, Ngf, ROR1, TP53, TNF, VWF, etc.
Creative BioMart's biomarker proteins are produced using a variety of expression systems, including E. coli, yeast, and mammalian cells. This allows Creative BioMart to produce biomarker proteins in a variety of formats, including recombinant proteins, native proteins, and GMP-grade proteins.
Creative BioMart's biomarker proteins are also available in a variety of purities, including analytical grade, research grade, and clinical grade, meeting the diverse needs of its customers, including researchers, pharmaceutical companies, and clinical diagnostic laboratories.
"We are excited to offer our customers a wide range of biomarker proteins for research use," said Linna, the chief marketing staff at Creative BioMart. "Biomarker proteins have the potential to revolutionize medicine, and we are committed to providing our customers with the tools they need to accelerate their research."
Creative BioMart also offers a variety of custom protein services, including protein expression, purification, modification, and engineering. This allows Creative BioMart to produce custom biomarker proteins that meet the specific needs of its customers.
For example, Creative BioMart can produce custom biomarker proteins that have been modified with fluorescent labels or biotin tags. This allows researchers to track and visualize biomarker proteins in cells and tissues. Creative BioMart can also produce custom biomarker proteins that have been engineered to have specific properties, such as increased stability or affinity for a particular target molecule.
"We are committed to providing our customers with the highest quality biomarker proteins and custom protein services," said Linna. "We believe that our products and services can help our customers accelerate their research and bring new and innovative treatments to patients."

The cell cycle is a complex process that involves the growth and division of a cell. It is divided into four phases: G1, S, G2, and M. During each phase, the cell undergoes a series of events that prepare it for the next phase. Cell cycle checkpoints are control mechanisms that ensure that the cell cycle proceeds in a timely and orderly manner.
There are three major cell cycle checkpoints:
· G1 checkpoint: This checkpoint occurs at the end of the G1 phase. It ensures that the cell has grown to a sufficient size and that all of the necessary nutrients and components are present before the cell enters the S phase.
· S checkpoint: This checkpoint occurs at the end of the S phase. It ensures that all of the DNA has been replicated accurately before the cell enters the G2 phase.
· M checkpoint (spindle checkpoint): This checkpoint occurs at the beginning of the M phase. It ensures that all of the chromosomes are properly attached to the spindle apparatus before the cell begins to divide.
If the cell cycle checkpoints detect any problems, they can arrest the cell cycle until the problems are resolved. This prevents the cell from dividing with damaged DNA or other abnormalities.
Cell cycle checkpoints are regulated by a variety of proteins, including cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs). Cyclins and CDKs form complexes that drive the cell cycle forward. However, certain proteins can inhibit the activity of cyclin-CDK complexes, halting the cell cycle until the problems are fixed.
Cell cycle checkpoints are essential for maintaining genomic stability and preventing cancer. Cancer cells often have mutations in the genes that regulate cell cycle checkpoints, which allows them to divide uncontrollably.
How Cell Cycle Checkpoints Work
Cell cycle checkpoints work by monitoring the completion of critical events in the cell cycle. For example, the G1 checkpoint monitors cell size and the presence of nutrients and growth factors. The S checkpoint monitors DNA replication, and the M checkpoint monitors chromosome attachment to the spindle apparatus.
If any problems are detected, the cell cycle checkpoints can activate a variety of responses, including:
· Arrest the cell cycle: This is the most common response. Arresting the cell cycle prevents the cell from dividing until the problems are resolved.
· Repair the damage: If the problem is with DNA damage, the cell cycle checkpoints can activate DNA repair mechanisms.
· Trigger apoptosis: If the problems cannot be resolved, the cell cycle checkpoints can trigger apoptosis, or programmed cell death.
Cell Cycle Checkpoints and Cancer
Cell cycle checkpoints are essential for preventing cancer. Cancer cells often have mutations in the genes that regulate cell cycle checkpoints, which allows them to divide uncontrollably.
For example, the p53 protein is a tumor suppressor that plays a critical role in the G1 checkpoint. If the p53 gene is mutated, the cell cycle checkpoint is disrupted and the cell can divide even if it has damaged DNA.
Another example is the Rb protein, which is another tumor suppressor that plays a critical role in the G1 checkpoint. If the Rb gene is mutated, the cell cycle checkpoint is disrupted and the cell can divide even if it has not grown to a sufficient size.
Targeting Cell Cycle Checkpoints for Cancer Treatment
Scientists are developing new cancer treatments that target cell cycle checkpoints. For example, some drugs work by inhibiting the activity of cyclin-CDK complexes, which arrests the cell cycle. Other drugs work by activating the p53 protein or other tumor suppressors.
Targeting cell cycle checkpoints for cancer treatment is a promising approach, as it could help to kill cancer cells while leaving normal cells unharmed. However, more research is needed to develop safe and effective cell cycle checkpoint inhibitors.
Conclusion
Cell cycle checkpoints are essential for maintaining genomic stability and preventing cancer. By understanding how cell cycle checkpoints work, scientists can develop new ways to treat cancer and other diseases.
