Protein Carboxyethylation Analysis
- Autoimmune Disease Research: Neoantigens generated by carboxyethylation are closely linked to HLA-restricted autoimmune responses, making this service ideal for studying molecular mechanisms in diseases like ankylosing spondylitis and rheumatoid arthritis.
- Metabolic Disorder Research: By detecting changes in carboxyethylation induced by metabolic byproducts, our services contribute to the investigation of metabolic diseases such as diabetes and atherosclerosis.
- Oxidative Stress Studies: Carboxyethylation is involved in cellular responses to oxidative damage, and its quantification aids in exploring antioxidant defense mechanisms.
- Drug Development: Monitoring carboxyethylation during drug testing allows for precise assessment of therapeutic efficacy and target engagement, supporting new drug development efforts.
Protein carboxyethylation is a significant post-translational modification (PTM) where a carboxyethyl group (-CH2-COOH) is covalently added to lysine or cysteine residues, altering protein structure and function. Recent research has demonstrated that this modification generates neoantigens, inducing HLA-restricted autoimmune responses, particularly playing a crucial role in autoimmune diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
