## Abstract Transforming growth factors β (TGF‐βs) are multifunctional cytokines, which are secreted in latent forms in large latent TGF‐β complexes (LL‐TGF‐β) with subsequent deposition to the extracellular matrix (ECM). While a variety of mechanisms capable of activating latent TGF‐β in vitro hav
Apoptosis of human endothelial cells is accompanied by proteolytic processing of latent TGF-β binding proteins and activation of TGF-β

Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) is widely recognized for its multiple roles in development, cellular maintenance, and protection against injury. In the brain, TGF-beta1 upregulation in microglia/macrophages is a predominant response to lesion and during pathology. However, the precise f
Human Treg and Th clones secrete the latent form of TGF-b, in which the mature TGF-b protein is bound to the latency-associated peptide (LAP), and is thereby prevented from binding to the TGF-b receptor. We previously showed that upon TCR stimulation, human Treg clones but not Th clones produce acti
Recently, the existence of the large latent transforming growth factor  (TGF-) complex, consisting of TGF-, the N-terminal part of its precursor (latency-associated peptide [LAP]), and the latent TGF- binding protein (LTBP), was demonstrated in rat liver parenchymal cells (PC) and stellate cells
