- Company Profile:
A family of proteins that were originally identified by their ability to cause necrosis of neoplasms. Their necrotic effect on cells is mediated through tumor necrosis factor receptors which induce apoptosis.
Industry:Agriculture
Serum glycoprotein produced by activated macrophages and other mammalian mononuclear leukocytes. It has necrotizing activity against tumor cell lines and increases ability to reject tumor transplants. Antigenically distinct from lymphotoxin, though they both share common receptors, biological activities, and significant amino acid sequence homology.

Industry:Agriculture
A 17-kDa single-chain polypeptide growth factor that plays a significant role in the process of wound healing and is a potent inducer of physiologic angiogenesis. It binds to heparin, which potentiates its biological activity and protects it from proteolysis. The growth factor is an extremely potent inducer of DNA synthesis in a variety of cell types from mesoderm and neuroectoderm lineages, and also has chemotactic and mitogenic activities. It was originally named acidic fibroblast growth factor based upon its chemical properties and to distinguish it from basic fibroblast growth factor (fibroblast growth factor 2).
Industry:Agriculture
Expulsion of milk from the mammary alveolar lumen, which is surrounded by a layer of milk-secreting epithelial cells and a network of myoepithelial cells. Contraction of the myoepithelial cells is regulated by neuroendocrine signals.

Industry:Agriculture
Substances in wood, not an integral part of the cellular structure, that can be removed by solution in hot or cold water, ether, benzene, or other solvents that do not react chemically with wood components.
