MeSH definition : A subtype of transforming growth factor beta that is synthesized by a wide variety
of cells. It is synthesized as a precursor molecule that is cleaved to form mature
TGF-beta 1 and TGF-beta1 latency-associated peptide. The association of the cleavage
products results in the formation a latent protein which must be activated to bind
its receptor. Defects in the gene that encodes TGF-beta1 are the cause of CAMURATI-ENGELMANN
SYNDROME.;
