Descriptions:Fibroblast Growth Factors-10 (FGF-10) is a 23.4 kDa member of the fibroblast Growth Factors with 208 amino acid residues. FGF-10 is mainly secreted from endometrial stromal cells, fibroblasts, peritubular cells, leydig cells, muller glia cells. FGF-10 a multifunctional mesenchymal-epithelial signaling Growth Factors, can regulate embryonic development, cell proliferation and cell differentiation. It has been associated with cancer and human genetic disorders.

Descriptions:Active matrix metalloproteinase-7 (Active MMP-7) is a 20.07 kDa matrix metalloproteinases with 180 amino acid residues. MMP-7 restricted production by normal mucosal and exocrine gland epithelial cells, as well as by carcinoma cells. Functionally, it involved breakdown of extracellular matrix (casein, gelatins of types I, III, IV, and V, and fibronectin) in normal physiological processes and disease processes. MMP-7 is contributed to early tumor development during carcinogenesis.

Descriptions:Human DKK-1 (Dickkopf related protein 1) is a secreted antagonist of Wnt/beta-Catenin signaling. It interacts with LRP-6, and internalized complexes of DKK-1/LRP-6/Kremen 2 can downregulate Wnt signaling. The balance between Wnt signaling and Human DKK-1 inhibition is critical for bone formation and homeostasis. In addition, Human DKK-1 can act as either a tumor suppressor or promoter of metastasis.

Descriptions:Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is one of the lectin family members, which is the only chimera‑type galectin, containing one carbohydrate recognition domain (CRD) connected to a long, flexible N‑terminal domain. The C‑terminal CRD is responsible for β-galactoside binding, and the N‑terminal domain is essential for its multimerization, and interaction with other intracellular proteins. Galectin-3 is predominantly presented in the cytoplasm and expressed on the cell surface, and then often secreted into biological fluids, such as serum and urine. Numerous studies have indicated that galectin-3 plays a crucial role in cell proliferation, apoptosis, gene expression, immune surveillance, inflammation, fibrosis, and host defense.

Descriptions:Human Interleukin-4 (IL-4) is a cytokine that plays an important role in regulating inflammation and immune responses. It induces the differentiation of T cells to Th2 cells. This cytokine binds the IL-4 receptor that also binds another cytokine interleukin 13 (IL-13), which may explain the overlapping functions of IL-4 and IL-13.

Descriptions:C-X-C motif chemokine 5 (CXCL5) also named epithelial-derived neutrophil-activating peptide 78 (ENA-78), which is a chemokine of the intercrine alpha family. CXCL5 is a 8kDa protein containing 70 amino acid residues. CXCL5 is stimulated by the IL-1 or TNFα during inflammation which produced by the eosinophils and CXCL5 is inhibited by the IFNγ. CXCL5 promotes the formation of blood vessels and angiogenesis by binding the cell receptor CXCR2.

Descriptions:Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (M-CSF) is a 18.54 kDa member of hematopoietic Growth Factors with 159 amino acid residues. M-CSF produced by osteoblasts and osteoblast precursors. M-CSF stimulates the growth and differentiation of the monocyte lineage, and promotes the survival, proliferation, and functions of mature monocytes/macrophages.

Descriptions:C-C Motif Chemokine Ligand 4 (CCL4) is a 7.66 kDa cytokine with 69 amino acid residues. CCL4, also named macrophage inflammatory protein-1β (MIP-1β), is mainly secreted from neutrophils, monocytes, B cells, T cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells and epithelial cells. CCL4 recruits various immune cells like natural killer cells, monocytes, and neutrophils when CCL4 binds to CCR5. In addition, CCL4 mediates lymphocyte adhesion by Rac1 /Cdc42 signaling pathway and plays critical roles in different biological functions like maintenance of cell polarity, regulation of calcium ion transport and response to viruses.
