R&D Systems personnel manually curate a database that contains references using R&D Systems products. The data collected includes not only links to publications in PubMed, but also provides information about sample types, species, and experimental conditions.

背景 | The TGF-beta family includes several related proteins (70-80% sequence homology) from mammalian, avian, or Xenopussystems that are now designated TGF-beta 1, TGF‑ beta 2, TGF-beta 1.2, TGF-beta 3, TGF-beta 4, and TGF-beta 5. These proteins are secreted by cells in the form of an inactive complex, referred to as latent TGF-beta, that consists of TGF-beta associated non-covalently with a Latency-associated peptide (LAP). These two proteins are synthesized as a single pro-peptide that is cleaved in a post Golgi compartment prior to secretion. Different TGF-beta family members are naturally associated with their own distinct LAPs. |
