TGF-beta receptor
ContentsFunctionTGF-β receptors (Transforming Growth Factor) (TGFBR) are serine/threonine kinase receptors. They are involved in paracrine signaling and are found in many types of tissue. TGF-β ligands include bone morphogenetic proteins, growth and initiation factors, anti-Mullerian hormone, activin, nodal TGF-β[1]. There are 3 types of TGFBR:
DiseaseOver-expression of TGF causes kidney disease, diabetes and renal disease. Mutations in TGFBR II cause various types of tumors[2]. Structural highlightsTGFBR structure contains a 100-140 residues ligand-binding N-terminal extracellular domain; a transmembrane domain; a 350-400 amino acid cytoplasmic kinase domain; and a C-terminal zona pellucida (ZP) domain of ca 260 residues which has a role in protein polymerization.
