Transforming growth factor-β: multifunctional regulator of differentiation and development
12 Mar 1990
Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factors-beta (TGF-beta) are 25 kilodalton (kDa) homodimeric peptides with multifunctional actions controlling the growth, differentiation and function of a broad range of target cells of both epithelial and mesenchymal derivation. They are expressed early in embryogenesis and their tissue-specific and developmentally dependent expression is strongly suggestive of an essential role in...
