Cloning and sequencing of equine transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF beta-1) cDNA.
Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) belongs to a family of peptide growth factors which control critical stages of cell proliferation and differentiation. We report the cloning and sequencing of the cDNA for TGF-beta type 1 isoform of the horse. The predicted mature equine TGF beta-1 peptide is 112 amino acids in length and exhibits 99% identity to mature human TGF beta-1.
