A TGF-beta subtype that was originally identified as a GLIOBLASTOMA-derived factor which inhibits the antigen-dependent growth of both helper and CYTOTOXIC T LYMPHOCYTES.

The association of the cleavage products results in the formation a latent protein which must be activated to bind its receptor.
