AGT is produced primarily by the liver but also is synthesized in the brain, large arteries, kidneys and adipose tissue. In plasma it exists as a monomeric form (55-65 kDa) as well as a high molecular mass form (200-550 kDa). In non-pregnant individuals with normal blood pressure, the high molecular mass form accounts for 3% of total circulating AGT. In the first half of pregnancy the total AGT increases by 4-fold and the high molecular mass form increases by 20-fold. Up to 80% of the total AGT in amniotic fluid is the high molecular mass form.Angiotensinogen is an essential component of the renin-angiotensin system, a potent regulator of blood pressure, body fluid and electrolyte homeostasis. It functions as the substrate for human renin and is the precursor molecule for Angiotensins 1,2,3,4, 1-9, 1-7, 1-5 and 1-4. AGT is also a member of the SERPIN family but it is not known to possess protease-inhibitory activity. Levels in plasma are increased by plasma corticosteroid, estrogen, thyroid hormone and angiotensin-2 levels.

KGF expression is restricted to cells of mesenchymal origin. When secreted, it acts as a paracrine growth factor for nearby epithelial cells (1). KGF speeds wound healing by being dramatically upregulated in response to damage to skin or internal structures that results in high local concentrations of inflammatory mediators such as IL-1 and TNF-alpha. (2, 5). KGF promotes cell migration and invasion, and mediates melanocyte transfer to keratinocytes upon UVB radiation (6, 7). It has been used ectopically to avoid chemotherapy-induced oral mucositis in patients with hematological malignancies (1). Deletion of KGF affects kidney development, producing abnormally small ureteric buds and fewer nephrons (8). It also impedes hair follicle differentiation (9). The 194 amino acid (aa) KGF precursor contains a 31 aa signal sequence and, like all other FGFs, an ~120 aa beta -trefoil scaffold that includes receptor- and heparin-binding sites. KGF signals only through the IIIb splice form of the tyrosine kinase receptor, FGF R2 (FGF R2-IIIb/KGF R) (10). Receptor dimerization requires an octameric or larger heparin or heparin sulfate proteoglycan (11). FGF-10, also called KGF2, shares 51% aa identity and similar function to KGF, but shows more limited expression than KGF and uses an additional receptor, FGF R2-IIIc (12). Following receptor engagement, KGF is typically degraded, while FGF-10 is recycled (12). Mature human KGF, which is active across species, shares 98% aa sequence identity with bovine, equine, ovine and canine, 96% with mouse and porcine, and 92% with rat KGF, respectively... Read More |
