Growth factors as transforming proteins [PDF]

European Journal of Biochemistry, 1989
The growth of cells in culture is controlled by stimulatory or inhibitory factors. More than 20 different polypeptide growth factors have been structurally and functionally characterized, including cloning of their cDNAs (Table 1). The total number of polypeptide growth, factors is likely to be considerably higher, since additional factors, that have ...
