Transforming growth factor<unk>  <unk> -β) is a protein that comes in three isoforms called<unk> -β1,<unk> -β2 and<unk> -β3; it was also the original name for the founding member of this family that is now called<unk> -β1.  The<unk> -β family is part of a superfamily of proteins known as the transforming growth factor<unk>  superfamily, which includes inhibins, activin, anti-müllerian hormone, bone morphogenetic protein, decapentaplegic and Vg-1.<unk>  controls proliferation, differentiation, and other functions in most cell types.  It can also act as a negative autocrine growth factor.<unk> -β is a multifunctional peptide that controls proliferation, differentiation, and other functions in many cell types.<unk> -β acts synergistically with<unk> -α in inducing cellular transformation (MIM 190170). It also acts as a negative autocrine growth factor.  Specific receptors for<unk> -β activation trigger apoptosis when activated.  Many cells synthesize<unk> -β and almost all of them have specific receptors for this peptide.<unk> -β1,<unk> -β2, and<unk> -β3 all function through the same receptor signaling systems.
