Latent transforming growth factor-beta binding protein 4 (LTBP4) is a multidomain glycoprotein that plays a critical role in regulating the bioavailability and activation of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β), a multifunctional cytokine involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, and tissue homeostasis. As part of the fibrillin/LTBP superfamily, LTBP4 binds to the latent TGF-β complex, sequestering it within the extracellular matrix (ECM) and controlling its release through proteolytic or mechanical processes. Dysregulation of LTBP4-mediated TGF-β signaling has been implicated in fibrosis, cancer progression, and cardiovascular disorders, making it a focal point for therapeutic research.
Recombinant LTBP4 protein is engineered using expression systems (e.g., mammalian cells, bacteria) to produce purified, functional domains of the protein for mechanistic studies. Its modular structure, including EGF-like domains and TGF-β-binding regions, allows researchers to dissect interactions with ECM components, integrins, and proteases. Notably, mutations in LTBP4 are linked to autosomal recessive cutis laxa, a connective tissue disorder characterized by impaired elastogenesis, highlighting its role in tissue elasticity. Recombinant LTBP4 serves as a tool to model disease mechanisms, screen drug candidates targeting TGF-β pathways, and develop biomarkers for fibrosis or tumor microenvironment analysis. Ongoing studies also explore its potential in regenerative medicine, particularly in modulating ECM remodeling for tissue repair.
