MeSH definition : A TGF-beta subtype that was originally identified as a GLIOBLASTOMA-derived factor
which inhibits the antigen-dependent growth of both helper and CYTOTOXIC T LYMPHOCYTES.
It is synthesized as a precursor molecule that is cleaved to form mature TGF-beta2
and TGF-beta2 latency-associated peptide. The association of the cleavage products
results in the formation a latent protein which must be activated to bind its receptor.;
