Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) from gastric fibroblasts have been reported to stimulate proliferation of scirrhous gastric cancer cells with K-samII amplification in a paracrine manner. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical significance of the co-expression of K-sam and KGF in gastric carcinomas. A total of 136 primary gastric tumors were investigated by staining with antibodies ...

The mitochondrial outer membrane contains two translocase machineries for precursor proteins--the translocase of the outer membrane (TOM complex) and the sorting and assembly machinery (SAM complex). The TOM complex functions as the main mitochondrial entry gate for nuclear-encoded proteins, whereas the SAM complex was identified according to its function in the biogenesis of beta-barrel protei...
