====== Transforming growth factor beta 1 ====== [[Transforming growth factor beta]] 1 or [[TGF-β1]] is a [[polypeptide]] member of the [[transforming growth factor beta]] superfamily of [[cytokine]]s. It is a secreted protein that performs many cellular functions, including the control of cell growth, cell proliferation, cell differentiation, and apoptosis. In humans, TGF-β1 is encoded by the TGFB1 gene. Silencing of [[FoxM1]] could reverse TGF-β1-induced invasion and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of endometriotic epithelial cells (EECs) ((Zhang J, Xu Z, Dai H, Zhao J, Liu T, Zhang G.
