proteins on cell surfaces that bind TGF-beta, regulating growth
TGF-beta receptors (Transforming Growth Factor-beta receptors) are proteins found on the surface of cells that bind to TGF-beta, a signaling molecule involved in regulating cell growth, differentiation, and immune responses. When TGF-beta binds to these receptors, it triggers a cascade of cellular events that can influence processes such as wound healing, fibrosis, and even hair growth.
