Isoform 2: Expressed prominently in heart, skeletal muscle, prostate, testis, small intestine and ovary (PubMed:12154076). Isoform 1: Strongly expressed in pancreas and liver (PubMed:12154076).
Secreted. Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix. Secretion occurs after coexpression with TGFB1 and requires complexing with 'Cys-33' of the TGFB1 propeptide.
PMID: 12154076 by Penttinen C., et al. Secretion of human latent TGF-beta-binding protein-3 (LTBP-3) is dependent on co-expression of TGF-beta.
PMID: 9620332 by Michel K., et al. Analysis of the expression pattern of the latent transforming growth factor beta binding protein isoforms in normal and diseased human liver reveals a new splice variant missing the proteinase-sensitive hinge region.
