The Latent Transforming Growth Factor-β–binding Protein-1 Promotes In Vitro Differentiation of Embryonic Stem Cells into Endothelium
1 Dec 2000
Abstract excerpt
The latent transforming growth factor-beta-binding protein-1 (LTBP-1) belongs to a family of extracellular glycoproteins that includes three additional isoforms (LTBP-2, -3, and -4) and the matrix proteins fibrillin-1 and -2. Originally described as a TGF-beta-masking protein, LTBP-1 is involved both in the sequestration of latent TGF-beta in the extracellular matrix and the regulation of its activation in the...
