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
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
