Cytokines, Growth Factors and Hormones — gathers natural and synthetic signaling molecules, including phytohormones, steroids, and bile acids, which structurally act as ligands or modulators in cell signaling pathways. This group serves as a reference for studying growth regulation, differentiation, and intercellular communication in various experimental models.
Cytokines, Growth Factors and Hormones are used by cell biology and neuroscience researchers as reference compounds in cell culture, receptor assays, and studies of hormone and growth factor signaling pathways. Phytohormones such as trans-Zeatin are commonly used in plant tissue culture, while steroids and bile acids are used as experimental models to understand metabolism and biological regulation in in vitro systems.
Example products in this collection: TCI Z0012 1637-39-4 trans-Zeatin, TCI B6325 471-95-4 Bufotalin, TCI U0102 126784-99-4 Ulipristal Acetate, TCI C0315 83-44-3 Deoxycholic Acid, TCI U0030 128-13-2 Ursodeoxycholic Acid, TCI C0316 302-95-4 Sodium Deoxycholate, TCI T4049 13647-35-3 Trilostane, TCI C0317 80-97-7 beta-Cholestanol (contains alpha-Cholestanol).
Pay attention to purity, salt or ester form, and stereochemistry, as structural isomers of steroid and bile acid compounds can produce different biological activities in research assays. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
