-
A white, crystalline substance, C8H7N, obtained from blue indigo, and almost all indigo derivatives, by a process of reduction. It is also formed from albuminous matter, together with skatol, by putrefaction, and by fusion with caustic potash, and is present in human excrement, as well as in the intestinal canal of some herbivora.

A product of albuminous putrefaction in the intestines.

-
A crystalline substance, C8H7N, produced by the reduction of indigo due to the combined action of trypsin and bacteria upon proteids in intestinal digestion. It is the cause in part of the specific odor of the feces. When accumulating in the intestines (as in intestinal obstruction) it produces a large discharge of indican in the urine.

-
A heterocyclic compound derived from tryptophane by putrefaction in the intestines. It is a combination of the benzene and the pyrrol rings. It is excreted partly in the feces to which it gives odor and, after absorption, partly in the urine as indican.

- cell surface protein-tyrosine kinase that is found to be overexpressed in significant number adenocarcinomas. It has extensive homology can heterodimerize EGF EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR), 3 receptor (RECEPTOR, 3) and the 4 receptor. Activation of erbB-2 receptor occurs during heterodimer formation with a ligand-bound erbB family members. EC 2.7.11.-.
