Latent TGF-beta binding protein

The latent TGF-beta binding proteins (LTBP) are a family of carrier proteins.[1][2]

LTBP is a family of secreted multidomain proteins that were originally identified by their association with the latent form of transforming growth factors. They interact with a variety of extracellular matrix proteins and may play a role in the regulation of TGF beta bioavailability.

Genes

gollark: Noveau is as far as I know missing features, and also hard to spell.
gollark: They should just always use those.
gollark: For example: *why is there a VBO option*?
gollark: Well, the non-pro Linux ones.
gollark: AMD's drivers are at least open-source now.
