  3. Tryptophan-cholic acid

Tryptophan-cholic acid (Trp-CA) is a microbial amino-acid-conjugated bile acid, serving as an endogenous ligand and agonist of the orphan G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) MRGPRE. Tryptophan-cholic acid activates MRGPRE, promoting the secretion of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) through the Gs-cAMP and β-arrestin-1-ALDOA signaling pathways, thereby improving glucose tolerance in diabetic mice. Tryptophan-cholic acid is promising for research of type 2 diabetes.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
