description: The GEArray Q Series Human Growth Factor Gene Array is designed to analyze the gene expression of common growth factors in your experimental model system. Growth factors play a vital role in various normal biological processes such as embryogenesis, wound healing and inflammation. These secreted proteins induce proliferation by binding to their cognate cell surface receptors. Many growth factors have very versatile functions. Besides inducing growth in one cell type, the same factors may also induce other responses (such as differentiation or migration) in different cell types. Unregulated expression of these growth factors often leads to the progression of certain disease states (such as atherosclerosis and tumorigenesis). This array includes genes encoding for members of the epidermal, fibroblast, platelet-derived, tumor, and neuronal growth factor families as well as a number of cytokines, the growth factors for immune cells. Through a simple side-by-side hybridization using your experimental RNA samples, the arrays provided in this kit, and a SuperArray Probe Synthesis Kit (sold separately), you can simultaneously determine the expression profile of these 96 growth factor genes.
