NGAL (Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin) is a member of Lipocalin family sharing a highly conserved fold with an eight-stranded antiparallel beta barrel, and it acts as a transporters, carrying small molecules...
Bcakground Noggin is a secreted homodimeric glycoprotein that is an antagonist of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) (1, 2). Human Noggin cDNA encodes a 232 amino acid (aa) precursor protein; cleavage...
Bcakground Oncostatin M (OSM)is a glycoprotein belonging to the interleukin-6 family of cytokines that has functions mainly in cell growth. Oncostatin M (OSM) is considered as a pleiotropic cytokine that...
Human PCDH7 is a protein with an extracellular domain containing 7 cadherin repeats. The gene product is an integral membrane protein that is thought to function in cell-cell recognition and...
The protein is a member of the platelet-derived growth factor family. The four members of this family are mitogenic factors for cells of mesenchymal origin and are characterized by a...
PDL1 is one of the ligands for PD-1 and plays a critical role in the regulation of T cell immunity. Mature human PDL1 protein is is expressed on inflammatory-activated immune...
Bcakground Placenta growth factor (PlGF) is a member of the PDGF/VEGF family of growth factors that share a conserved pattern of eight cysteines (1, 2). Alternative splicing results in at...
The protein likely exists as both a transmembrane form and a soluble form. The transmembrane receptor may play a role in clearance of phospholipase A2, thereby inhibiting its action. Polymorphisms...
