Abstract
Most growth factors are released from cells in a form that does not permit immediate interaction with their high affinity receptors. An important mechanism for presentation of these released latent growth factors is activation by the plasminogen activator-plasmin system. The involvement of this system in the biology of Transforming Growth Factor-beta (TGF-beta) is reviewed.Entities:
