ARA-290 - 12mg - Research Spray Kit

ARA-290 is studied in laboratory and preclinical research as a model peptide for investigating molecular and cellular pathways. Typical research applications include:

• Receptor interaction assays: Testing peptide binding to erythropoietin-related receptors under controlled lab conditions.
• Signal transduction studies: Monitoring intracellular pathways triggered by peptide–receptor engagement.
• Peptide delivery evaluations: Using the spray kit to compare dispersion, solution stability, and administration techniques.

Molecular pathway modeling: Investigating how the peptide influences metabolic, neural, and inflammatory signaling in vitro or in vivo models.
 

ARA-290 research spans multiple scientific disciplines:

• Neurobiology: Laboratory investigations into peptide activity in neural signaling and experimental neuropathy models.
• Metabolic research: Studies modeling molecular pathways involved in energy regulation and metabolic signaling.
• Inflammatory pathway research: Experimental studies exploring interactions with oxidative and inflammatory mechanisms.
• Cardiovascular research: Laboratory studies examining peptide interactions with vascular signaling pathways, endothelial cell behavior, and tissue-level inflammatory mechanisms in experimental models.
• Renal research: Experimental investigations into molecular pathways in kidney cells and tissue models.
• Cell survival and cytoprotection studies: Research exploring peptide effects on cellular resilience, stress responses, and tissue-level signaling in controlled experimental systems.

Pain and neuropathic pathway research: Mechanistic studies on sensory neuron signaling and molecular pathways involved in experimental neuropathic models.signaling in controlled experimental systems.

Pain and neuropathic pathway research: Mechanistic studies on sensory neuron signaling and molecular pathways involved in experimental neuropathic models.

The ARA-290 Research Spray Kit contains a synthetic, nonerythropoietic peptide supplied with a precision spray applicator for controlled laboratory investigations. It supports studies into peptide–receptor interactions, signal transduction pathways, and comparative administration models. Designed strictly for research use, the kit enables experiments on molecular, metabolic, neural, and inflammatory pathways while providing a reliable system for evaluating peptide dispersion and solution stability.
