Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta is known as an antiproliferative factor in the majority of mammalian cells, including stem germ cells. Lack of TGF-beta-induced growth inhibition has been associated with disruptions of TGF-beta receptors and SMADs. In the present study, we performed a mutational analysis of the TGF-beta signaling system, including TGF-beta receptor type I and type II and SMADs (SMAD1-SMAD7),...
