Alomone Labs WKYMVm activates Ca2+transients in HL-60 cells. - Non-differentiated HL-60 cells were loaded with Fluo-3 AM. Changes in intracellular Ca2+were detected via changes in Fluo-3 emission following application ofWKYMVm(#GPW-105) at different concentrations.Normalized fluorescence before and after application (indicated by arrow) of 1 nM 10 nM and 100 nM WKYMVm are shown compared to control (black).
product information
cat :
GPW-105
SKU :
GPW-105_0.5 mg
Product Name :
WKYMVm
Group Type :
Non Antibodies
Product Type :
Proteins
Applications :
Calcium imaging assay
Formulation :
Lyophilized from double distilled water (ddH2O). May contain TFA as a residual counter ion.
Storage After Reconstitution :
The reconstituted solution can be stored at 4°C for up to 1 week. For longer periods (up to 6 months), small aliquots should be stored at -20°C. We do not recommend storing the product in working solutions for longer than a few days. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles.
Reconstitution and Solubility :
Centrifuge the vial (10,000 × g for 5 minutes) before adding solvent to spin down all the powder to the bottom of the vial. The lyophilized product may be difficult to visualize. Add solvent directly to the centrifuged vial. Gently tap, tilt, and roll the vial to aid dissolution. Avoid vigorous vortexing; light vortexing for up to 3 seconds is acceptable if needed. The product is soluble in pure water at high micromolar concentrations (100 µM - 1 mM). For long-term storage in solution, we recommend preparing a stock solution by dissolving the product in double-distilled water (ddH2O) at a concentration between 100-1000x of the final working concentration. Divide the stock solution into small aliquots and store at -20°C. Before use, thaw the relevant vial(s) and dilute to the desired working concentration in your working buffer. Centrifuge all product preparations before use. It is recommended to prepare fresh solutions in working buffers just before use. Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles to maintain biological activity.

Gene ID :
FPR2, FPR3
Product Page - Scientific background :
Chemotactic factors from both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria are short peptides with N-formyl methionine at the N-terminus (extensively reviewed in reference 1). These peptides are released from bacteria during infection and activate formyl peptide receptors (FPR), members of the G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily. In humans, the FPR family consists mainly of three receptors, FPR1, FPR2/ALX (formerly FPRL1), and FPR3 (formerly FPRL2) which all couple to the Gi subtype of G-proteins and ultimately lead to the activation of phospholipase C and intracellular Ca2+ increase1,2.WKYMVm is a selective agonist of the Formyl peptide receptors (FPR2 and FPR3) and was discovered by screening peptide libraries for their ability to stimulate inositol phosphates in lymphocyte cell lines3,4. It is also an agonist of FPR11. FPR2 is expressed in the promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL-60 as well as in the chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line K5625.WKYMVm inhibited the infection of human peripheral monocyte-derived macrophages and CD41 T lymphocytes by strains of HIV-1, via sensitization of chemokine receptors (CXCR4 and CCR5), following FPR2 activation6.
