Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is a multifunctional growth and differentiation factor that affects almost all cells. Although equipotent in many cases, the three isoforms of TGF-beta (-beta1, -beta2, -beta3) have several important isoform specific activities. For example, TGF-beta2 binds with higher affinity to a 60 kDa cell-surface glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked protein, expressed on...
