Details for anatomical structure: muscle

EndoNet ID: ENC00171

To link to the content of EndoNet use the EndoNet ID that is given on the detail pages in the format ENX0000, where X is a place holder for the type of the component (e. g. R for receptor or C for anatomical structure).
As URL for the linking append this ID to the detail page for this type of component.
For an hormone that would be:

http://endonet.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/hormone/ENH00000

It is also possible to use the search of EndoNet to link to the right detail page. The URL should look like

http://endonet.bioinf.med.uni-goettingen.de/search/ENC00000
If the search pattern is unambigious the user is directed to the corresponding detail page.

    Secreted hormones

    • Hormone: IL-4

      • IL-4 is expressed by a subset of muscle cells in fusing muscle cultures and requires the IL-4alpha receptor subunit on myoblasts to promote fusion and growth. [1]
    • Hormone: sFRP-5

    • Hormone: semaphorin 3B

    • Hormone: GDF-8

      • GDF-8 is expressed in many different muscles throughout the body. [2]

    Receptors

    • Receptor: activin receptor type I

    • Receptor: PPAR-gamma1

    • Receptor: frizzled 3

    • Receptor: Lysophosphatidic acid receptor 1

    • Receptor: relaxin receptor 2
