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

Transforming growth factor β 1 (TGF-β 1 ) has been implicated as inhibitor of cell proliferation and a potent inducer of apoptosis in vitro and in vivo after the administration of high doses. To assess the role of endogenous TGF-β 1 , we quantitated the cytokine and its receptors in rat liver during
Transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta) is secreted in a latent form consisting of mature TGF-beta noncovalently associated with its amino-terminal propeptide, which is called latency associated peptide (LAP). Biological activity depends upon the release of TGF-beta from the latent complex follo
We have characterized a 60-kDa transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b) binding protein that was originally identified on LNCaP adenocarcinoma prostate cells by affinity cross-linking of cell surface proteins by using 125 I-TGF-b1. Binding of 125 I-TGF-b1 to the 60-kDa protein was competed by an excess
