Growth Factors in the Intestinal Tract
2018, Physiology of the Gastrointestinal Tract, Sixth EditionInvestigating proteins and proteases composing amniotic and allantoic fluids during chicken embryonic development
2017, Poultry ScienceCitation Excerpt :On the other hand, 2 additional functions in anatomical structure morphogenesis and blood vessels remodeling have been suggested for both the AmF and AlF proteases identified in the present study. Indeed, MMP2 is involved in feather morphogenesis (Jiang et al., 2011), while HGFAC participates in the gastrointestinal tract and kidney morphogenesis (Matsubara et al., 1998; van Adelsberg et al., 2001). ST14 and ASTL are found in neural tube and are assumed to participate in its closure (Szabo et al., 2009; Acloque et al., 2012).
Hepatocyte growth factor activator is a potential target proteinase for Kazal-type inhibitor in turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) seminal plasma
2015, TheriogenologyCitation Excerpt :In mammals, HGFA is the key enzyme that regulates the activity of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), which is involved in the regeneration of injured tissues [29–31]. Hepatocyte growth factor has mitogenic, morphogenic, and motogenic effects in a variety of processes, which include embryogenesis, organogenesis, and angiogenesis, as well as tissue remodeling and repair [32–38]. For male reproduction, potential roles of HGF in the testis have been postulated for mammals: (1) seminiferous cord formation and development, (2) Leydig cell steroidogenesis and survival, (3) Sertoli cell proliferation and terminal differentiation, and (4) germ cell function and survival [38].
