Histological and biochemical evaluation of transforming growth factor-β activation and its clinical significance in patients with chronic liver disease

Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) is a key driver for liver fibrogenesis. TGF-β must be activated in order to function. Plasma kallikrein (PLK) is a TGF-β activator that cleaves the latency-associated protein (LAP) between arginine(58) and lysine(59) residues and releases active TGF-β from the la...
