Human Granulocyte Colony - Stimulating Factor Specifically Binds to Murine
The specific binding of human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) to its receptors on NFS-60 cells acts as a primer for cellular proliferation. There are approximately 400 binding sites per cell. with a binding constant of about 1 00 pmol/ 1. Before the proliferative response, the affinity constant of the membrane particulate fraction to labeled guanosine triphosphate-gamma-S ( ‘S-GTP...
متن کاملvon Willebrand factor binds specifically to sulfated glycolipids.
The human plasma glycoprotein Factor VIII/von Willebrand factor (vWF) binds specifically and with high affinity to sulfatides (galactosylceramide-I3-sulfate). vWF does not bind to gangliosides, neutral glycolipids, phospholipids, or cholesterol 3-sulfate. Although the largest oligomers of vWF bind preferentially to sulfatides, vWF monomers and dimers also bind but with reduced affinity. vWF bin...
متن کاملHepatocyte Growth Factor
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) exerts biological activity through the Met receptor tyrosine kinase. HGF plays essential roles in the embryonic development of the liver and placenta, and in the migration of myogenic precursor cells. In mature tissues, HGF plays roles in tissue protection and regeneration, including in the liver and kidney. HGF participates in invasion, metastasis, and drug resis...
متن کاملHepatocyte Growth Factor/Scatter Factor Effects
Intestinal epithelial cells rest on a fibroblast sheath. Thus, factors produced by these fibroblasts may influence epithelial function in a paracrine fashion. We examined modulation of intestinal epithelial function by one such fibroblast product, scatter factor/ hepatocyte growth factor (HGF/SF). This effect was studied in vitro by using model T84 intestinal epithelial cells. When applied to c...
متن کاملHepatocyte growth factor and hepatocyte growth factor receptor in the lacrimal gland, tears, and cornea.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to characterize the expression of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and HGF receptor proteins in lacrimal gland, tears, and cornea. METHODS The reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction method was used to detect HGF and HGF receptor messenger RNA in human lacrimal gland tissue. HGF and HGF (c-met) receptor monoclonal antibody specificity was demonstrat...
