Functional Roles for the Cytoplasmic Domain of the Type III Transforming Growth Factor β Receptor in Regulating Transforming Growth Factor β Signaling
1 Jan 2001
Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) signals through three high affinity cell surface receptors, TGF-beta type I, type II, and type III receptors. The type III receptor, also known as betaglycan, binds to the type II receptor and is thought to act solely by "presenting" the TGF-beta ligand to the type II receptor. The short cytoplasmic domain of the type III receptor is thought to have no role in TGF-beta...
