Transforming Growth Factor Beta Receptor 3 (TGFBR3)–Associated Membranous Nephropathy [PDF]
Abstract Key Points TGF-β receptor 3 (TGFBR3) staining identifies a novel type of membranous nephropathy (MN).TGFBR3-associated MN is enriched in patients with membranous lupus nephritis with similar characteristics as exostosin 1/2- and neural cell adhesion molecule 1–associated MN ...

Induction of transforming growth factor beta receptors following focal ischemia in the rat brain. [PDF]
Transforming growth factor-βs (TGF-βs) regulate cellular proliferation, differentiation, and survival. TGF-βs bind to type I (TGF-βRI) and II receptors (TGF-βRII), which are transmembrane kinase receptors, and an accessory type III receptor (TGF-βRIII ...

Latent transforming growth factor binding protein 4 regulates transforming growth factor beta receptor stability [PDF]
Mutations in the gene for the latent transforming growth factor beta binding protein 4 (LTBP4) cause autosomal recessive cutis laxa type 1C. To understand the molecular disease mechanisms of this disease, we investigated the impact of LTBP4 loss on transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) signaling.
