Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of various human diseases. Synthetic TGF-beta antagonists therefore could have therapeutic utility. Here we show the development of such compounds. Three synthetic pentacosapeptides designated beta125-(41-65), beta225-(41-65), and beta325-(41-65), whose amino acid sequences correspond to the 41st to 65th amino acid residues of...
