The small leucine-rich proteoglycans (SLRPs) are a family of proteins that are present in extracellular matrix and that share in common multiple repeats of a leucine-rich structural motif, flanked by cysteine residues. These proteins appear to interact in many cases with collagen, modifying the deposition and arrangement of collagen fibers in the extracellular matrix, and also with cells and with soluble growth facto......閱讀全文
SLRPs (Small leucine-rich proteoglycans) are extracellular molecules that bind to TGF-betas, collagens and other matrix molecules. In vitro, SLRPs wer
