Descriptions:Basic fibroblast Growth Factors (FGF-2, bFGF, FGF-β), a 18 kDa pleiotropic cytokine, plays multiple roles in different cells and tissues. FGF-2 can stimulate smooth muscle cell growth, wound healing, and tissue repair. In addition, FGF-2 has been shown to regulate the generation of neurons and astrocytes from progenitor cells. FGF-2 are also involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth, and invasion. As a multifunctional cytokine, FGF-2 is first isolated from the pituitary. Later, it was identified from various cell types including cardiac myocytes, cardiac fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and smooth muscle cells.

Descriptions:Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) is the neurotrophic factor, belonging to the GDNF family of ligands (GFL) and identifying as a therapeutic candidate in Parkinson's disease. GDNF is a 23.7 kDa protein containing 211 residues that plays a critical role in promoting the survival and differentiation of midbrain dopamine neurons. Besides, GDNF is revealed to facilitate the development of peripheral tissues such as kidney, pancreas and lung. Additionally, as a member of GFL, GDNF also takes part in the progression of tumor.

Descriptions:Malic enzyme (ME) is widely present in the cytoplasm of microorganisms, cultured cells, animals, and plants, especially with high activity in plant tissues. ME catalyzes the reversible oxidation decarboxylation of malic acid, producing pyruvate and CO2, as well as the reduction reaction accompanied by NAD(P)+, which is a key enzyme in malic acid metabolism.

Descriptions:Interferon-Beta 1a (IFN-beta 1a) is a leukocyte interferon, which is a variant of Interferon-beta. IFN-beta 1a is a 19 kDa protein containing 166 amino acid residues. It could bind the interferon receptors that activates the signal transduction of immune responses through the Jak/STAT pathway in leukocytes and lymphoblastoid cells.
