Research Abstract |
Latent transforming growth factor (TGF)-β binding protein-1 (LTBP-1) play important roles in the secretion and activation of TGF-β. In this study, to clarify the role of LTBP-1L protein in carcinoma cell, we performed in vitro functional analysis and clinical data analysis. Our results indicate that the LTBP-1L protein can contribute to tumor initiation and progression through the induction of cell growth activity. And we indicated the possibility of the LTBP-1L protein as cancer molecular marker.
