摘要:
A recombinant non-glycosylated mammalian growth factor (BTC-GF) stimulates proliferation of human smooth muscle cells. Especially, the amino acid sequence of the protein deduced from the nucleotide sequence coding for human BTC-GF is as that comprising the amino acids No. 1 to No. 147 of Figure 10 or the amino acids No. 1 to 80 of Figure 10, and the amino acid sequence of the protein deduced from the nucleotide sequence coding for mouse BTC-GF is as that comprising the amino acids No. 1 to No. 146 of Figure 9.
