Abstract excerpt
The transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) binds the type II TGF-beta growth factor receptor (RII) to inhibit the growth of most epithelial tissues. Most human colon and gastric cancers with microsatellite instability (MI) have frameshift mutations in polynucleotide repeats within the RII cod...
