A central bioactive region of LTBP-2 stimulates the expression of TGF-β1 in fibroblasts via akt and p38 signalling pathways
Latent transforming growth factor-β-1 binding protein-2 (LTBP-2) belongs to the LTBP-fibrillin superfamily of extracellular proteins. Unlike other LTBPs, LTBP-2 does not covalently bind transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) but appears to be implicated in the regulation of TGF-β1 bioactivity, altho...
