products description :
Macrophage inhibitory cytokine-1 (MIC-1) is a member of the transforming growth factor-beta superfamily that regulates a wide variety of physiological processes involved in tissue differentiation and maintenance (1). MIC-1 is synthesized as a 62kD intracellular protein, which, after cleavage by a furin like protease, is secreted as a 25kD disulphide-linked dimeric protein. Expression of MIC-1 results in inhibition of macrophage activation, regulated by the p53 pathway, in response to pro-inflammatory monokines (1,2). MIC-1 is involved in tumor pathogenesis and its measurement can be used as a clinical tool for the diagnosis of a wide range of cancers. It could be a useful marker for aggressive prostate cancer while MIC-1 is upregulated in advanced and more aggressive prostatic tumors (3).

ncbi summary :
Bone morphogenetic proteins (e.g., BMP9; MIM 605120) are members of the transforming growth factor-beta (see TGFB1; MIM 190180) superfamily and regulate tissue differentiation and maintenance. They are synthesized as precursor molecules that are processed at a dibasic cleavage site to release C-terminal domains containing a characteristic motif of 7 conserved cysteines in the mature protein.[supplied by OMIM]
