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.
Descriptions:Protein S100-A9, also known as S100 calcium binding protein A9, S100A9, and CAGB, is a member of the S-100 family. S100A9 is expressed by macrophages in acutely inflammed tissues and in chronic inflammation. It is also expressed in epithelial cells constitutively or induced during dermatoses. S100A9 is a calcium-binding protein. It has anti-microbial activity towards bacteria and fungi.

Descriptions:GDF-3 (previously called Vgr-2) is a TGF-beta superfamily member belonging to the growth/differentiation factor family. GDF-3 is expressed in undifferentiated embryonic stem (ES) cells, white adipose tissue and the brain. The 366 amino acid (aa) mouse GDF-3 contains a 22 aa signal sequence, a 230 aa propeptide and a 114 aa mature protein that contains one potential N-glycosylation site. The mature region contains a cysteine-knot structure that is conserved throughout family members. However, it lacks the fourth cysteine which is responsible for the formation of an inter-molecular disulfide bond, so GDF-3 may exist as a non-covalent homodimer. Mature human GDF-3 shares 83%, 83% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat GDF-3. Most of GDF-3 is present as the uncleaved prepro form. The uncleaved and the mature forms both appear to have activity, but that activity may differ. All forms can oppose BMPs. In ES cells, inhibition of BMP2 signaling by GDF-3 maintains pluripotency. GDF-3 also influences early cell fate decisions; for example, deletion of mouse GDF-3 produces defects in the anterior visceral endoderm of the pre-gastrulation embryo. GDF-3 cooperates with GDF-1 in embryogenesis, and the mature protein has nodal-like activity. Although GDF family members signal through BMP receptors (ALK1, 2, 3 and 6), which activate Smads 1, 5 and 8, GDF-3 signaling through ALK4 and ALK7, which activate Smads 2 and 3, has also been reported. In adipocytes, GDF-3 is induced by a high fat diet, promoting adipogenesis and obesity.

Descriptions:Insulin like Growth Factors 1 (IGF-I) is a 7.79 kDa member of the Insulin-like Growth Factors with 71 amino acid residues. IGF-I is mainly expressed from liver, adipose tissue, Endometrial stromal cells, Leydig cells, and can be isolated from plasma. IGF-I mediating the protein anabolic and promoting effect of pituitary growth hormone. IGF-I also affects metabolism of glycogen, DNA synthesis and glucose uptake via binding to IGF-I receptor.

Descriptions:Bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) is a kind of bone growth regulator, belonging to protein transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β) superfamily. BMP-2 protein is involved in hedgehog pathway, TGF-β signaling pathway and cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction. BMP-2 and BMP-7 are osteogenic BMP, which have been proved to be effective in inducing osteoblast differentiation in many cell types. The active form of BMP-2 can be composed of dimers of two identical proteins or heterodimers of two related bone morphogenetic proteins.

Descriptions:Mouse FGF1, which is produced by multiple cell types, stimulates the proliferation of all cells of mesodermal origin and many cells of neuroectodermal, ectodermal, and endodermal origin. It plays a number of roles in development, regeneration, and angiogenesis. It is released extracellularly as a disulfide-linked homodimer and is stored in complex with extracellular heparan sulfate. Intracellular Mouse FGF1 functions as a survival factor by inhibiting p53 activity and proapoptotic signalin.

Descriptions:Bone Morphogenetic Protein-7 (BMP-7) is an extracellular multifunctional cytokine that is also a member of the TGF-β family. BMP7 can significantly inhibit TGF-β through binding with TGF-β receptor and trigger SMAD transcription factors, such as SMAD 1 /5/8. It plays a vital role in inhibiting the expansion of kidney damage and promoting the differentiation of osteoblasts.
