Abstract excerpt
Members of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily are critical regulators for epithelial growth and can alter the differentiation of keratinocytes. Transduction of TGF-beta signaling depends on the phosphorylation and activation of Smad proteins by heteromeric complexes of ligand-specific type I and II receptors. To understand the function of TGF-beta and activin-specific Smad, we generated...
