G418
G418 (Geneticin) is an aminoglycoside antibiotic similar in structure to gentamicin B1. It is produced by Micromonospora rhodorangea. G418 blocks polypeptide synthesis by inhibiting the elongation step in both prokaryotic […]
Emodin
Emodin (from Rheum emodi a Himalayan rhubarb) is a purgative resin 6-methyl-138-trihydroxyanthraquinone from rhubarb buckthorn and Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica syn. Polygonum cuspidatum). It can also be isomers in botanical […]

N-Acetylaspartylglutamic acid
N-Acetylaspartylglutamic acid (N-acetylaspartylglutamate or NAAG) is a neuropeptide that is the third-most-prevalent neurotransmitter in the mammalian nervous system. NAAG consists of N-acetylaspartic acid (NAA) and glutamic acid coupled via a […]
Mannose 6-phosphate
Mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) is a molecule bound by lectin in the immune system. M6P is converted to fructose 6-phosphate by mannose phosphate isomerase.M6P is a key targeting signal for acid hydrolase […]
