The latent TGF-beta binding proteins (LTBP) are a family of
carrier proteins.
LTBP is a family of secreted multidomain proteins that were originally identified by their association with the latent form of
transforming growth factor Transforming growth factor (, or TGF) is used to describe two classes of polypeptide growth factors, TGFα and TGFβ.
The name "Transforming Growth Factor" is somewhat arbitrary, since the two classes of TGFs are not structurally or genetically ...

extracellular matrix proteins and may play a role in the regulation of
TGF beta
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) is a multifunctional cytokine belonging to the transforming growth factor superfamily that includes three different mammalian isoforms (TGF-β 1 to 3, HGNC symbols TGFB1, TGFB2, TGFB3) and many other ...
