Transforming growth factor β1 was discovered in biochemical research in the 1970s and was initially used to isolate soluble factors that induce anchorage-independent growth or transformation of normal cells.

TGF-β1 protein is a multifunctional cytokine that plays an important role in biological processes such as cell proliferation, development, apoptosis, fibrosis, angiogenesis, wound healing, and cancer.
