Bcakground Stem cell factor (SCF)is a potent hematopoietic growth factor required in regulating both embryonic and adult hematopoiesis. SCF protein promotes the survival, differentiation, and mobilization of multiple cell types...
The human Sftpd is part of the innate immune response, protecting the lungs against inhaled microorganisms and chemicals. The protein may also be involved in surfactant metabolism.
Bcakground Sonic Hedgehog (Shh) is expressed in embryonic tissues that are critical for the patterning of the developing central nervous system, somite, and limb. It is also involved in whisker,...
Most cell types express three sizes of receptors for TGF-beta. These are designated type I (53 kDa), type II (70-85 kDa), and type III (250-350 kDa). The type II receptor...
Background TGF-β1 (transforming growth factor beta 1) is one of three closely related mammalian members of the large TGF-β superfamily that share a characteristic cystine knot structure (1–7). TGF-β1, -2,...
Bcakground TGF-beta 2 (transforming growth factor beta 1) is one of three closely related mammalian members of the large TGF-beta superfamily that share a characteristic cystine knot structure . TGF-beta...
Bcakground TGF-beta 3 (transforming growth factor beta 1) is one of three closely related mammalian members of the large TGF-beta superfamily that share a characteristic cystine knot structure . TGF-beta...
CD90, also known as Thy1, is an approximately 25-35 kDa glycoprotein that mediates cellular adhesion and exerts wide ranging effects in different tissues. CD90 is expressed on hematopoietic progenitor cells,...
