A mouse TGF-beta type I receptor that requires type II receptor for ligand binding.

Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan.

A cDNA for a serine/threonine kinase receptor was isolated from a mouse brain cDNA library. The receptor transiently expressed on COS cells bound TGF-beta 1 not by itself but only when TGF-beta type II receptor was coexpressed. The molecular mass of the ligand-receptor complex was estimated to be 75 kDa. The type II receptor-dependent binding and the molecular mass of the complex suggest that the receptor is a TGF-beta type I receptor.
