Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) signaling is initiated following heterodimerization of the type II TGF-beta receptor (TbetaRII) with the type I TGF-beta receptor (TbetaRI). Both receptors are required for TGF-beta responsiveness. In the present study, we characterized the actions of TGF-beta1 in T3M4 human pancreatic cancer cells, which express low levels of TbetaRI and high levels of TbetaRII. Cells...
