ABSTRACT:
A new TGF-.beta. induced gene and protein is described. Treatment of TGF-.beta. growth arrested cells induces the production of a novel gene which encodes a 683 amino acid protein, designated BIG-H3, that contains four homologous repeat regions and which may represent a cell surface recognition molecule. This gene and protein is induced in mammalian cells, and specifically human cells, upon treatment with TGF-.beta., and is shown to inhibit the growth of tumor cells.
