Polyesters. Polyester . Polymers of organic acids and alcohols, with ester linkages--usually polyethylene terephthalate; can be cured into hard plastic, films or tapes, or fibers which can be woven into fabrics, meshes or velours. . 0.71
Pantothenic Acid. Calcium Pantothenate . Dexol . Vitamin B5 . Zinc Pantothenate . B 5, Vitamin . B5, Vitamin . Pantothenate, Calcium . Pantothenate, Zinc . Vitamin B 5 . A butyryl-beta-alanine that can also be viewed as pantoic acid complexed with BETA ALANINE. It is incorporated into COENZYME A and protects cells against peroxidative damage by increasing the level of GLUTATHIONE. . 0.54

Transforming Growth Factor beta. Milk Growth Factor . TGFbeta . Bone Derived Transforming Growth Factor . Factor, Milk Growth . Growth Factor, Milk . Bone-Derived Transforming Growth Factor . Platelet Transforming Growth Factor . TGF-beta . GLIOBLASTOMA-DERIVED T-CELL SUPPRESSOR FACTOR . POLYERGIN . SUPPRESSOR FACTOR, T-CELL, GLIOBLASTOMA-DERIVED . A factor synthesized in a wide variety of tissues. It acts synergistically with TGF-alpha in inducing phenotypic transformation and can also act as a negative autocrine growth factor. TGF-beta has a potential role in embryonal development, cellular differentiation, hormone secretion, and immune function. TGF-beta is found mostly as homodimer forms of separate gene products TGF-beta1, TGF-beta2 or TGF-beta3. Heterodimers composed of TGF-beta1 and 2 (TGF-beta1.2) or of TGF-beta2 and 3 (TGF-beta2.3) have been isolated. The TGF-beta proteins are synthesized as precursor proteins. . 0.44
