    GlossaryLegumain

    enzyme that breaks down proteins in acidic cell environments

    Legumain is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in breaking down proteins within cells. It is particularly active in acidic environments, such as those found in lysosomes, and is involved in various biological processes, including immune response and tissue remodeling. For professionals, it's noteworthy that legumain is an asparaginyl endopeptidase, which means it specifically cleaves peptide bonds at asparagine residues.

      community DLQ01: A Better "Minoxidil" PGF2a synthetic analogue.

      in Research/Science  3 upvotes 1 year ago
      DLQ01, a prostaglandin F2α analog, shows promise for hair growth by directly stimulating PGE2/PGF receptors without needing conversion, and can be combined with minoxidil and retinoids like tretinoin for enhanced effectiveness. Minoxidil's efficacy may be reduced by COX-1 inhibitors, but using prostaglandin analogs like Latanoprost or Bimatoprost can help maintain its effectiveness.
