Previous biochemical studies suggested that TβRI and TβRIII are preexisted homo-dimers.

Upon TGF-β1 stimu- lation, TβRI follows the general ligand-induced receptor dimerization model for activation, but this process is TβRⅡ- dependent. The monomeric status of the non-kinase receptor TβRⅢ is unchanged in the presence of TGF-β1. With the increase of receptor expression, both TβRI and TβRIII can be assembled into dimers on cell surfaces.展开更多
