[non-myocyte-derived growth factor] This biochemically uncharacterized factor of 45-50 kDa has been isolated from the conditioned medium of cardiac non-myocytes (mainly fibroblasts surrounding myocytes).
NMDGF is a heparin binding protein (see also: HBGF). It stimulates the growth of myocytes in vitro. The biological activity of NMDGF is not blocked by antibodies directed against PDGF, TNF, aFGF, bFGF and TGF-beta, which are found also in cardiac tissues.
