Figure 5.1 Growth factor receptors are illustrated here. Docking proteins—receptors for protein growth factors—are embedded in the outer membranes of cells. Binding of the specific growth factor triggers a cascade of biochemical signals that cause the cell to divide and express the proteins that give the cell specialized properties.

Stop protein translation sites. Furthermore, protein synthesis and stability may also be regulated by constantly changing cellular processes and extracellular signals such as heat shock proteins, growth factors, and toxins. The end result of these processes could lead to changes in protein localization and interactions, generation of protein fragments, and alteration in protein function and turnover rates. 

The pituitary growth hormone is only one of a large family of protein growth factors that are secreted by cells and which promote the growth of other cells.200 Many of the growth factors are also described as cytokines, local protein hormones that conduct cell-to-cell communication to regulate growth, development,...

It can be deduced from Table 39.1 that most biopharmaceuticals approved to date are monoclonal antibodies and the most common indication is oncology. However, barring oncology, the biopharmaceuticals span an impressive range of indications. In addition to monoclonal antibodies, other prevalent types of biopharmaceuticals are fusion or conjugate proteins, growth factors, replacement enzymes, and peptides. Cellular and tissue therapies are rarer but becoming more prevalent.
