Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGFβ1) is a short-lived immune suppressive and profibrotic protein. Its latent precursor is relatively stable and may even protect from fibrosis. Latent TGFβ1 is synthesized by various tissues including the liver and portal, hepatic, and systemic concentrations of latent TGFβ1 were determined in patients with liver cirrhosis and patients with normal liver function to find out whether circulating levels are affected by liver disease.
