Preferred Label : nonsuppressible insulin-like activity;
MeSH definition : A blood protein (NSILA) which mimics the biological activity of insulin in serum,
but is not suppressed by insulin antibodies. During acid-ethanol extraction of Cohn
fraction III, 10% of the activity is found in the supernatant (NSILA-S) and the remaining
activity in the precipitate (NSILA-P). The latter is a large molecular compound, much
less stable than the soluble fraction. NSILA-S is a more potent growth factor than
insulin and exhibits sulfation activity.;
MeSH synonym : insulin-like activity, nonsuppressible; nonsuppressible insulinlike activity; activity, nonsuppressible insulin-like; activity, nonsuppressible insulinlike; insulinlike activity, nonsuppressible; nsila; nonsuppressible insulin like activity;
MeSH hyponym : NSILA-P; NSILA-S;
