MSH: Mitogenic peptide growth hormone carried in the alpha-granules of platelets. It is released when platelets adhere to traumatized tissues. Connective tissue cells near the traumatized region respond by initiating the process of replication.,CSP: mitogenic peptide growth hormone carried in the alpha-granules of platelets; released when platelets adhere to traumatized tissues; connective tissue cells near the traumatized region respond by initiating the process of replication.,NCI: A family of molecules released from platelets (tiny pieces of cells that are found in the blood and that help the blood clot). Forms of PDGF help to heal wounds and to repair damage to blood vessel walls. They also help blood vessels grow.,NCI: Expressed in platelets, human Platelet-Derived Growth Factor (PDGF/VEGF Family) is a mitogenic factor for mesenchymal cells characterized by a motif of eight cysteines and released upon wounding to stimulate adjacent cell growth. PDGF can exist as antiparallel disulfide-linked homodimers (
