1 FK506 removed FKBP12 from its binding to the TGF-beta-receptor. Tacrolimus transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
2 CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows that most chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells escape the homeostatic control of TGF-beta and that FK506 restores the TGF-beta signal in a proportion of non-responsive samples. Tacrolimus transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
3 We demonstrated that FK506 activates TGF-beta receptor I kinase activity in chronic lymphocytic leukemia, which transduces apoptosis by a mitochondrial-dependent pathway. Tacrolimus transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens
