Category:GO:0038105 ! sequestering of TGFbeta from receptor via TGFbeta binding

name: sequestering of TGFbeta from receptor via TGFbeta binding
namespace: biological_process
def: "Binding to a transforming growth factor-beta (TGFbeta) protein in the extracellular region, and inhibiting TGFbeta signaling by preventing TGFbeta from binding to its cell surface receptor." [GOC:bf, GOC:signaling, PMID:19855014]
comment: This term is for annotation of gene products that bind to TGFbeta. For gene products that tether the TGFbeta-containing latency complex to the extracellular matrix, but do not necessarily bind TGF-beta directly, consider instead annotating to 'sequestering of TGFbeta in extracellular matrix ; GO:0035583'.
