Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) ligands exert their biological effects through type II (TbetaRII) and type I receptors (TbetaRI). Unlike TGF-beta1 and -beta3, TGF-beta2 appears to require the co-receptor betaglycan (type III receptor, TbetaRIII) for high affinity binding and signaling. Recently, the TbetaRIII null mouse was generated and revealed significant non-overlapping phenotypes with the...
