Abstract excerpt
In the signal transduction of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta), the TGF-beta type II receptor (betaR-II) binds TGF-beta, presents the ligand to type I receptor, and forms a heterodimeric receptor complex that functions as an active signaling receptor. We isolated cDNA clones encoding an isoform of human betaR-II from vascular endothelial cells by RT-PCR. The deduced structure of the isoform designated...
