endothelial growth factors

Preferred Label : endothelial growth factors;

MeSH definition : These growth factors are soluble mitogens secreted by a variety of organs. The factors are a mixture of two single chain polypeptides which have affinity to heparin. Their molecular weight are organ and species dependent. They have mitogenic and chemotactic effects and can stimulate endothelial cells to grow and synthesize DNA. The factors are related to both the basic and acidic FIBROBLAST GROWTH FACTORS but have different amino acid sequences.;

MeSH synonym : endo-gf; endothelial growth factor; growth factors, endothelial; growth factor, endothelial; endothelial growth factor polypeptides; ecdgf; endothelial cell-derived growth factors; endothelial cell derived growth factors;

MeSH hyponym : beta-Endothelial growth factor; alpha-Endothelial growth factor; Growth Factor, beta-Endothelial; beta Endothelial Growth Factor; Growth Factor, alpha-Endothelial; alpha Endothelial Growth Factor;

MeSH annotation : do not confuse with EGF; (EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR);
