Background
TGF-β2 (Transforming Growth Factor-beta 2) is a secreted, 25 kDa disulfide-linked homodimeric cytokine and one of three mammalian TGF-β isoforms. It is synthesized as a 414-aa pre-pro-peptide; after removal of the signal peptide and cleavage of the latency-associated peptide (LAP), the mature 112-aa chain forms the biologically active ligand. TGF-β2 is abundant in bone, cartilage, cornea, kidney, platelets and immune cells, and its expression is rapidly up-regulated after injury or in fibrotic disease. Compared with TGF-β1, TGF-β2 exhibits ~71 % sequence identity but shows distinct promoter regulation and a stronger association with epithelial and neuronal tissues.
TGF-β2 signals through the canonical type II–I receptor serine/threonine kinases TβRII and ALK5, phosphorylating Smad2/3. Phospho-Smad complexes with Smad4 translocate to the nucleus to regulate >500 genes. Non-Smad pathways—PI3K/Akt, mTORC2, MAPK, JAK/STAT3, Rho-GTPases—mediate additional effects on cell survival, migration and EMT.
