Proteolytic processing of proTGF-β1

Proteolytic processing of proTGF-β1

Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1) is translated as a proprotein. The main enzyme responsible for the proteolytic processing of proTGF-β1 is furin. The aim of this thesis is to characterise the proteolytic processing of proTGF-β1 and investigate whether this step may represent an important p...
