Abstract excerpt
Cellular responses to the transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) ligand, including inhibition of cell proliferation, are mediated by a heteromeric receptor complex composed of TGFbeta types I and II receptors (TbetaR-I and TbetaR-II). Loss of responsiveness to TGFbeta, attributed to inactivation of the TbetaR complex, has been implicated in the development of tumors in a number of human epithelial and lymphoid...
