Descriptions:Interleukin-10 (IL-10), also known as cytokine synthesis inhibitory factor (CSIF), is an anti-inflammatory cytokine. Many different types of cells can produce IL-10, including immune cells and non-immune cells. IL-10 exerts inhibitory functions on DCs and macrophages, which is a potent inhibitor of antigen presentation and limit the production of the Th1-associated cytokines IL-2 and interferon-γ (IFN-γ). IL-10 is also a key immunoregulator during infection due to its inhibitory effect on inflammatory cytokine production. Consequently, the excessive Th1 and CD8+ T cell responses could be suppressed during infection.

Descriptions:Epidermal Growth Factors (EGF) is a member of the EGF-family of proteins. EGF is mainly secreted from ectodermal cells, monocytes, kidney and duodenal glands. Upon binding to its receptor, EGFR, EGF acts to stimulate cell growth and proliferation of epithelial cells, play important roles in many developmental processes including accelerate tooth eruption, inhibits gastric acid secretion, and involve in wound healing.

Descriptions:Interleukin-15 (IL-15) is a 14-15 kDa glycoprotein with immune regulatory functions in many diverse cell types. IL-15 can be constitutively expressed in a variety of cell types stored as intracellular protein in the cytoplasm as well as transport to the cell surface, while only secreted from some cell types including monocytes, dendritic cells, epithelial cells, bone marrow stromal cells, and fibroblasts. As a pleiotropic cytokine, IL-15 mediates the crosstalk between innate immunity and adaptive immunity whose principal role is to kill virally infected cells. IL-15 plays a crucial role in the development, differentiation, and survival of NK cells. In monocytes, IL-15 induces the production of IL-8 and monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), which recruits neutrophils and monocytes to sites of infection. IL-15 can also act as a chemo-attractant in T lymphocytes and regulate the differentiation of T lymphocytes.

Descriptions:Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) is a potent mitogen and chemoattractant for mesenchymal and osteogenic cells and stimulates angiogenic molecules which play an essential role in bone regeneration. PDGF-BB is a member of PDGF family, which promotes cell proliferation, survival and migration, through binding to the tyrosine kinase PDGF receptor.

Descriptions:Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (BMP-2) is an extracellular multifunctional signaling cytokine that is also a member of the TGF-β family. BMP-2 can bind with the TGF-β receptor to active SMAD protein signal transduction. Moreover, it engages in the path of signals such as Wnt and Notch. BMP-2 plays an essential role in the growth of hard bones and cartilage and involved in the differentiation of osteoblasts.

Descriptions:Fms-related tyrosine kinase-3 ligand (Flt-3 Ligand) is a protein which is encoded by the FLT3LG gene in human. As an important regulator of hematopoiesis, Flt-3 ligand has a tyrosine-protein kinase activity that stimulate the proliferation of hematopoietic progenitor cells of both lymphoid and myeloid origin. Flt-3 ligand can synergistically increase the proliferation of immature progenitors with other cytokines such as GM-CSF, G-CSF, IL-3, EPO, IL-11, IL-12, IL-6 or TPO. Flt-3 ligand is expressed by a variety of hematopoietic progenitor cells including immature hematopoietic and

Descriptions:Acidic proteinase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of proteins in acidic environments. The enzyme is mainly used in alcohol fermentation, beer brewing, fur softening, fruit wine clarification, soy sauce brewing, feed and so on.

Descriptions:Fibroblast growth factor 9 (FGF9) also known as Glia-activating factor or Heparin-binding growth factor 9, is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities, and are involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. This protein was isolated as a secreted factor that exhibits a growth-stimulating effect on cultured glial cells. In nervous system, this protein is produced mainly by neurons and may be important for glial cell development. Expression of the mouse homolog of this gene was found to be dependent on Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling. Mice lacking the homolog gene displayed a male-to-female sex reversal phenotype, which suggested a role in testicular embryogenesis. FGF9 plays an important role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, cell differentiation and cell migration. FGF9 may have a role in glial cell growth and differentiation during development, gliosis during repair and regeneration of brain tissue after damage, differentiation and survival of neuronal cells, and growth stimulation of glial tumors.

Descriptions:Interleukin 19 (IL-19) predicts a molecular mass of 35.8 kDa, is a type of anti-inflammatory cytokine. It promotes the Th2 T-cell response which supports an anti-inflammatory lymphocyte phenotype, dampens the Th1 T-cell response and IFNγ secretion, increases IL-10 expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and inhibits the production of IgG from B cells.

Descriptions:Manganese peroxidase (MnP, EC1.11.1.13) is a type of peroxidase containing heme, mainly found in basidiomycetes. It belongs to the lignin degrading enzyme system and can effectively degrade lignin, as well as difficult to degrade chlorides, azides, DTT, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, etc. in wastewater and soil.
