PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	16 EGF-like domains
	2 EGF domains
	a binding site within three domains of the C terminus
	C terminus of LTBP1 interacts with the N terminus of fibrillin-1 and fibrillin-2 , and flanking regions, together forming a 12 kDa protein fragment at the C-terminus of LTBP1 is likely involved in interactions with fibrillin microfibrils

isoforms

Precursor

fibroblast precursor 170-190kDa

HOMOLOGY

intraspecies	homolog to LTBP family
	homolog to fibrillin

Homologene

FAMILY	fibrillin superfamily
	latent TGF-beta binding proteins (LTBPs)

CATEGORY

signaling growth factor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,endoplasmic reticulum
text	localizes to extracellular fibrillar structures resembling fibronectin-collagen matrix (Taipale 1996)
	strong localization only in the outer medial layer (Hirani 2007)

basic FUNCTION	regulator of TGFB1 metabolism independent structural protein of ECM
	may be involved in the assembly, secretion and targeting of TGFB1 to sites at which it is stored and/or activated
	may play critical roles in controlling and directing the activity of TGFB1
	mediates the extracellular matrix (ECM) targeting and accumulation of most TGF-beta in the bone (Koli 2008)
	differentially regulating TGF-beta activation and extracellular matrix accumulation during osteogenic differentiation (Koli 2008)
	compete with LTBP2 for binding to fibrillin-containing microfibrils throughout the aortic wall but particularly in the outer medial region where it is predominantly located (Hirani 2007)
	LTBP1 and LTBP2 are involved in the keratinization of oral epithelium
	potential function of LTBP1 in female reproduction
	LTBP1 function is crucial for skin and bone extracellular matrix (ECM)assembly and homeostasis
	microfibril-associated multidomain protein essential for the sequestration of TGFB1 in the extracellular matrix (ECM)
	LTBP1 has dual functions in humans and zebrafish affecting cutaneous and skeletal development

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component	fibrillin-associated microfibrils
	component of the extracellular matrix and alterations of the pericellular matrix could result in aberrant TGF-beta signaling (Taipale 1996)

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	binding the small TGFB1 complex through its latency associated polypeptide (LAP)
	implicated in the control of secretion, localization, and activation of TGFB1
	has also been demonstrated to interact with a number of insoluble extracellular matrix components, such as fibrillin, which may play a role in TGFB1 regulation
	N-terminal region of FBLN1 mediates a bipartite interaction with LTBP1
	FBLN1c may be a novel driver of TGFB1-induced fibrosis involving LTBP1 and may be an upstream therapeutic target

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

	mice lacking Ltbp1L only or both Ltbp1S and Ltbp1L show a persistent truncus arteriosus and an interrupted aortic arch that associates with perinatal lethality
	ltbp1 deficiency in zebrafish confirms a prominent role for Ltbp1 in skeletal morphogenesis
