Osteoblast: TGF beta
Pathway ID: SIGNOR-OsteoTGFB
Description: Transforming Growth Factors (TGFs) play opposite roles in osteogenic differentiation. SMAD-dependent pathway inhibits osteogenesis whereas SMAD-independent pathway (a MAPK signal transduction) activates osteogenic transcription factors, such as RUNX2, DLX5 and SP7, starting osteoblast differentiation.
