Can I read Heparin-binding Growth Factors and Their Receptors on EtoBox?

Heparin-binding Growth Factors and Their Receptors by Bradley B. Olwin is a Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology article available to read on EtoBox.

What is Heparin-binding Growth Factors and Their Receptors about?

Heparin-binding growth factors modulate diverse biological activities including cellular proliferation, cellular differentiation, morphogenesis, and angiogenesis. Biochemical characterization for two members of the heparin-binding growth factor family, acidic and basic fibroblast growth factors, is extensive, while characterization of the remaining five members is forthcoming. Cell surface receptors have been identified for acidic and basic fibroblast growth factors, but little is known concerning their sites of action in vivo or the mechanisms involved in transducing the energy of growth factor binding to a biological response. An understanding of the biological basis for the diversity of the heparin binding growth factor family and the in vivo actions of these factors will prove a major challenge to future research efforts.

Who reads Heparin-binding Growth Factors and Their Receptors?

It is typically read by researchers, students, and practitioners in Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology.
