Polyamines 123-132 transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens 0-34 11222476-6 2001 TGF-beta(1) markedly increased the capacity of VSMCs to generate the polyamine putrescine and L-proline from extracellular L-arginine. Polyamines 69-78 transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens 0-11 11222476-10 2001 CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate that TGF-beta(1) stimulates polyamine and L-proline synthesis by inducing the genes that regulate the transport and metabolism of L-arginine. Polyamines 67-76 transforming growth factor beta 1 Homo sapiens 44-55 11222476-12 2001 The ability of TGF-beta(1) to upregulate L-arginine transport and direct its metabolism to polyamines and L-proline may contribute to arterial remodeling at sites of vascular damage.
