Background: 

Transforming growth factor, beta 3 (TGF-b3) belongs to a large family of cytokines called the Transforming growth factor beta super family (1, 2), which includes the TGF-β family, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), growth and differentiation factors (GDFs), inhibins and activins. TGF-β3 is expressed in numerous cells including epithelial cells (3). TGF-β3 is a Ser/Thr protein kinase and is believed to regulate molecules involved in cellular adhesion and extracellular matrix (ECM) formation during the process of palate development. Without TGF-β3, mammals develop a deformity known as a cleft palate (4). This is caused by failure of epithelial cells in both sides of the developing palate to fuse. TGF-b3 is involved in embryogenesis and cell differentiation. TGF-b3 signaling activates transcription of the LEF1 gene to induce epithelial mesenchymal transformation during mouse palate development (5). TGF-b3 functions in normal palate and lung morphogenesis and is implicated in epithelial-mesenchymal interaction (4). Together with other members of TGF-b, TGF-β3 functions via endoglin, an accessory protein that interacts with the receptors of the TGF-β family (6); TGF-b3 has interaction with the type I receptor ALK-1 (7).
