Abstract excerpt
Latent transforming growth factor-β binding protein-1 (LTBP1) has been implicated in the control of secretion, localization, and activation of TGFβ (transforming growth factor-β). We developed a quantitative reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (Q-RT-PCR) assay using an RNA internal standard to examine the expression of three alternatively spliced isoforms of LTBP1 (LTBP1Δ41, LTBP1Δ53, and LTBP1Δ55) in...
