Proteolytic Modification of Cell Surface Macromolecules: Mode of Action in Stimulating Cell Growth

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses proteolytic modification of cell surface macromolecules. Itanalyzes strong evidence to implicate one or more membrane peptides glycopeptides as controlling element(s) in determining whether not a population will be stimulated divide the protease treatment surface. The also reviews for and against protease-induced transmembrane control division. It presents that is at least supportive concept peptide glycopeptide can initiate series intracellular events culminate effects proteolysis on growth state lymphocytes, thymocytes, fibroblasts. To introduce methodology concepts underlying use proteases modify structure, extensive work done area erythrocyte briefly reviewed chapter. point out some problems biologists must aware when are used stimulants
