Heterogeneity in localization of isoforms of TGF-beta in human retina, vitreous, and choroid.

Abstract

The heterogeneity in localization of TGF-beta s in the human posterior eye suggests that TGF-beta s are produced, used, and degraded locally. TGF-beta 1 produced by the choriocapillaris may be stored or used by photoreceptors.
