basic FUNCTION
| may play critical roles in controlling and directing the activity of TGFB1 |
|
may have a structural role in the extra cellular matrix (ECM) |
|
required for targeting and activation of TGFB, and in particular regulates the bioavailability of TGFB in chondrocytes (Noor 2009) |
|
playing an important role in development of the axial skeleton (Noor 2009) |
|
important regulatory role in TGF-beta activation and autocrine growth control in MSCs (Mesenchymal stem cells) (Koli 2008) |
|
differentially regulating TGF-beta activation and extracellular matrix accumulation during osteogenic differentiation (Koli 2008) |
|
in Marfan syndrome, improper localization of latent TGFB1 complexes composed of LTBP3 and TGFB1 contributes to aortic disease progression  |
|
is important for craniofacial morphogenesis and hard tissue mineralization, as it is essential for activation of transforming growth factor-beta (TGFB1) |
|
is required for ameloblast differentiation and for the formation of decussating enamel prisms, to prevent enamel nodule formation, and for proper root morphogenesis  |
|
represents a novel oncotarget that has distinctive functions in the regulation of angiogenesis-dependent tumor cell intravasation, a critical process during early cancer dissemination  |
