LEFTY1 - left-right determination factor 1 Gene
Also Known as LEFTB; LEFTYB
Species: Homo sapiens
About LEFTY1
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 284 orthologues and 31 paralogues. Biased expression in colon (RPKM 67.2), pancreas (RPKM 11.8) and 2 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a secreted ligand of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily of proteins. Ligands of this family bind various TGF-beta receptors leading to recruitment and activation of Smad Family transcription factors that regulate gene expression. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate the mature protein, which plays a role in left-right asymmetry determination of organ systems during development. This gene is closely linked to both a related family member and a related pseudogene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]
