Sequence and expression of a novel member (LTBP‐4) of the family of latent transforming growth factor‐<i>β</i> binding proteins
14 Jul 1997
Abstract excerpt
Overlapping cDNA clones from human heart and melanoma libraries were used to establish the 1587-residue sequence of a novel protein (LTBP-4) belonging to the family of extracellular microfibrillar proteins which also bind transforming growth factor-beta. LTBP-4 consists of 20 EG modules, 17 of them with a consensus sequence for calcium binding, 4 TB modules with 8 cysteines and several proline-rich regions....
