Biochem/physiol Actions

Pasteurella multocida toxin (PMT) is a bacterial protein toxin produced by few P. multocida serotype A and D strains. It acts as an effective mitogen in numerous cell types in vitro. PMT inhibits osteoblast differentiation by activating the Rho/Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase (Rho/ROCK) pathway. Infections of PMT cause atrophic rhinitis in pigs and by local dermatonecrosis, respiratory disease in cattle and rabbits. PMT is also a pathogenic agent of dermatonecrosis and bacteremia in humans.

Discover Bioactive Small Molecules for Cyclic Nucleotides

Cyclic nucleotides, including cyclic AMP (cAMP), cyclic GMP (cGMP) and cyclic ADP-ribose, have been extensively studied as second messengers of intracellular events initiated by activation of GPCRs. cAMP modifies cell function in all eukaryotic cells, principally through the activation of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), but also through cAMP-gated ion channels and guanine nucleotide exchange factors directly activated by cAMP.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
