Latent transforming growth factor β-binding protein 4 is downregulated in esophageal cancer via promoter methylation.

Latent transforming growth factor β-binding protein 4 (LTBP4) is an extracellular matrix molecule that is a member of important connective tissue networks and is needed for the correct folding and the secretion of TGF-β1. LTBP4 is downregulated in carcinomas of various tissues. Here we show that LTB...
