Abstract βig-h3 is a transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)-induced cell-adhesive molecule
and has an RGD sequence at its C-terminus. A previous report suggested that βig-h3 …

ABSTRACT βig-h3 is a novel gene first discovered by differential screening of a cDNA
library made from A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells treated with transforming growth …

Synthetic peptides containing the arginine–glycine–aspartate (RGD) motif have been used
extensively as inhibitors of integrin–ligand interactions in studies of cell adhesion, migration …

UV radiation induces various cellular responses by regulating the activity of many UV-
responsive enzymes, including MAPKs. The βγ subunit of the heterotrimeric GTP-binding …

Background RGD-motif acts as a specific integrins-ligand and regulates a variety of cell-
functions via extracellular action affecting cell-adhesion properties. However, increasing …

RGD motif-containing peptides have been used in various studies of cell adhesion and
growth. We report that RGD triggered apoptosis at a concentration of 1 mmol/L, whereas …

Transforming growth factor-beta-induced protein (TGFBI, also known as βig-H3 and
keratoepithelin) is an extracellular matrix protein that plays a role in a wide range of …

βig-h3 is a secretory protein that is induced by transforming growth factor (TGF)-β. We have
recently found that βig-h3 expression is induced in cultured astrocytes by TGF-β1 and in rat …

Betaig‐h3 as a secreted protein induced by transforming growth factor‐β has been
suggested to modulate cell adhesion and tumor formation. Although we have previously …

Background Small peptides including the Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) motif have been used in
studies on cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) attachment due to their ability to disturb integrin …
