Stromal Cell-derived Factor (other)

	Stromal Cell-derived Factor (other) There are several stromal cell derived factors: * Stromal cell-derived factor-1 The stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1), also known as C-X-C motif chemokine 12 (CXCL12), is a chemokine protein that in humans is encoded by the ''CXCL12'' gene on chromosome 10. It is ubiquitously expressed in many tissues and cell types. St ... (SDF-1, SDF1, Sdf1) * Stromal cell-derived factor-1 alpha (SDF-1a, SDF1a, Sdf1α) * Stromal cell-derived factor-2 (SDF-2, SDF2, Sdf2) * Stromal cell-derived factor-3 (SDF-3, SDF3, Sdf3) * Stromal cell-derived factor-4 (SDF-4, SDF4, Sdf4) {{dab ...

	Stromal Cell-derived Factor-1 The stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1), also known as C-X-C motif chemokine 12 (CXCL12), is a chemokine protein that in humans is encoded by the ''CXCL12'' gene on chromosome 10. It is ubiquitously expressed in many tissues and cell types. Stromal cell-derived factors 1-alpha and 1-beta are small cytokines that belong to the chemokine family, members of which activate leukocytes and are often induced by proinflammatory stimuli such as lipopolysaccharide, TNF, or IL1. The chemokines are characterized by the presence of 4 conserved cysteines that form 2 disulfide bonds. They can be classified into 2 subfamilies. In the CC subfamily, the cysteine residues are adjacent to each other. In the CXC subfamily, they are separated by an intervening amino acid. The SDF1 proteins belong to the latter group. CXCL12 signaling has been observed in several cancers. The ''CXCL12'' gene also contains one of 27 SNPs associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease. Structure Gene ...

	Stromal Cell-derived Factor-1 Alpha Stromal cells, or mesenchymal stromal cells, are differentiating cells found in abundance within bone marrow but can also be seen all around the body. Stromal cells can become connective tissue cells of any organ, for example in the uterine mucosa (endometrium), prostate, bone marrow, lymph node and the ovary. They are cells that support the function of the parenchymal cells of that organ. The most common stromal cells include fibroblasts and pericytes. The term ''stromal'' comes from Latin , "bed covering", and Ancient Greek , , "bed". Stromal cells are an important part of the body's immune response and modulate inflammation through multiple pathways. They also aid in differentiation of hematopoietic cells and forming necessary blood elements. The interaction between stromal cells and tumor cells is known to play a major role in cancer growth and progression. In addition, by regulating local cytokine networks (e.g. M-CSF, LIF), bone marrow stromal cells have been described to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
