The human urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor (uPAR) is a 55-65 kDa, highly glycosylated, GPI-anchored cell surface receptor (the deglycosylated...
Integrins are heterodimers composed of noncovalently associated transmembrane alpha and beta subunits. The 16alpha and 8beta subunits heterodimerize to...
Defensins are a family of microbicidal and cytotoxic peptides which are made by neutrophils and are thought to be involved in host defense. Defensins are...
IgG is a monomeric immunoglobulin composed of two heavy chains and two light chains. There are four subclasses of the IgG: IgG1, IgG2, IgG3 and IgG4. Each...
In vivo studies have shown that BMP-2 (also designated BMP-2A) and BMP-3 can independently induce cartilage formation. Smad3 association with the TGFbeta...
Inhibins and activins are involved in regulating a number of functions such as hypothalamic and pituitary hormone secretion, gonadal hormone secretion, germ...
Advanced glycosylation end products of proteins (AGEs) are nonenzymatically glycosylated proteins that are associated with a variety of conditions, including...
Adrenomedullin (ADM), a vasodilator produced by most contractile cells, is characterized by persistent hypotensive activity. ADM is involved in the...
