DesignNote

TGF-beta 2, encoded by the TGFB2 gene, is a disulfide-linked homodimer belonging to the TGF-beta cytokine family that has suppressive effects on Interleukin-2-dependent T-cell growth. It may have an autocrine function in enhancing tumor growth and/or reducing immunosurveillance of tumor development. Two isoforms are produced by alternative splicing. TGF-beta 2 is expressed in a wide variety of mesenchymal tissues and in the ventral nervous system during human embryogenesis. (from OMIM 190220, Swiss-Prot P08112, and NCI)
