Schistosoma mansoni TGF-beta receptor II: role in host ligand-induced regulation of a schistosome target gene.

Members of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily play pivotal roles in development in multicellular organisms. We report the functional characterization of the Schistosoma mansoni type II receptor (SmTbetaRII). Mining of the S. mansoni expressed sequence tag (EST) database identifie...
