The large latent complex of TGF-β binds to ECM proteins attached to a substrate, which may be deformable. The other end of LLC is attached to the cytoskeleton via an integrin complex that transmits the pulling force. If released, the free active TGF-β can bind to a set of receptors on the cell surface to initiate the signalling loop discussed in this paper.
