2-Phenoxy-benzylamine is a growth factor that acts by binding to cell surface receptors. It is involved in the regulation of cellular proliferation, differentiation, and survival through interactions with its receptor. 2-Phenoxy-benzylamine binds to the extracellular domain of its receptor, which is composed of three immunoglobulin (Ig)-like domains. The protein also interacts with other proteins, such as histone H3, and can be detected using signal detection methods like Western blotting. 2-Phenoxy-benzylamine has been shown to have an effect on the expression of certain genes in tissue cultures and specifically on chondroitin sulfate in mammalian cells. It also has an endoplasmic reticulum localization sequence that allows it to be transported into the Golgi apparatus and specific primers can be designed for PCR amplification.
