Sericins. Sericin . Sericin-1 . Silk Gum Proteins . Proteins, Silk Gum . Sericin 1 . A serine-rich sticky protein secreted by MOTHS. Generally, the term refers to silkworm silk gum protein secreted in the middle section of silk gland cells of SILKWORMS, Bombyx mori. Sericin acts as a cement and coating for the two fibroin filaments in a silk strand and is readily soluble in mild alkaline solution. . 1.00

Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators. Estrogen Receptor Modulator, Selective . SERM 22213 . Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator . Estrogen Receptor Modulators, Selective . SERMs . A structurally diverse group of compounds distinguished from ESTROGENS by their ability to bind and activate ESTROGEN RECEPTORS but act as either an agonist or antagonist depending on the tissue type and hormonal milieu. They are classified as either first generation because they demonstrate estrogen agonist properties in the ENDOMETRIUM or second generation based on their patterns of tissue specificity.
