Abstract excerpt
Signals from the TGF-betas are mediated by the TGF-beta receptors and their substrates, the Smad proteins. Inactivation of either of the two transmembrane serine/threonine kinases called the TGF-beta type I and type II receptors is now known to underlie a wide variety of human pathologies including, especially carcinogenesis. Numerous studies have now demonstrated that the TGF-beta receptor complex and its...
