TGF-beta latency-associated peptide |
TGF-betaPL |
Tilapia Piscidin 3 |
||
The name given to a protein associated with the stored latent form of TGF-beta (Nakamura et al, 1986). Okada et al (1989) have shown that this binding protein consists of two subunits of 39 kDa and 105-120 kDa linked by disulfide bonds. The 39 kDa subunit is identical to the N-terminal part of the TGF-beta precursor. Tsuji et al (1990) have cloned the gene encoding the large subunit.
The masking protein is LTBP-1 [latent TGF-beta binding protein-1].
