cell growth factor
61sarcoma growth factor — Polypeptide released by sarcoma cells that promotes the growth of cells by binding to a cell surface receptor; the sarcoma cell is therefore self sufficient and independent of normal growth control. See growth factors. The name is no longer… …
62hepatocyte growth factor — Polypeptide mitogen originally shown to cause cell division in hepatocytes. In the liver, the main sources of HGF are non parenchymal cells. It is now clear that HGF is a mitogen for a number of cell types and it is found in many cells outside… …
