Background
Transforming growth factor beta 1 is also known as TGFbeta1, TGF beta, and TGFB. The inactive form consists of a TGF-¿1 homodimer that is non-covalently linked to a latency-associated peptide homodimer. The active form is a homodimer of mature TGF-beta1 that is disulfide linked. The precursor is cleaved into mature TGF-beta1 and the latency-associated peptide. Many cells can synthesize TGF-beta1, which is secreted to function in proliferation, differentiation, transformation, signaling and apoptosis. This cytokine has been implicated in many diseases including diabetes, renal disease, chronic pulmonary obstructive disease, as well as many cancers including prostate, and colon. This protein has generated tremendous excitement as a potential tumor-specific cancer therapeutic. Specifically, as a stable soluble dimer, it selectively induces apoptosis in many transformed cells but not in normal cells. The literature contains many recent reviews on the biology and function of TGF-beta1.
