TUFT1 stabilizes TGF-β receptor II protein and facilitates activation of hepatic stellate cells into metastasis-promoting myofibroblasts
Mass spectrometry identified TUFT1 as a TβRII-binding protein in primary human HSCs
To identify proteins that interacted with TβRⅡ, we generated TβRⅡ-HA-overexpressing HSCs by transducing primary human HSCs with lentiviruses encoding…
