Tgfb2 - transforming growth factor, beta 2 Gene
Also Known as Tgfb-2; Tgf-beta2
Species: Mus musculus
About Tgfb2
This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 199 orthologues, 32 paralogues and is associated with 122 phenotypes. Broad expression in limb E14.5 (RPKM 8.), CNS E11.5 (RPKM 3.4) and 17 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 a latency-associated peptide (LAP) and a mature peptide, and is found in either a latent form composed of a mature peptide homodimer, a LAP homodimer, and a latent TGF-beta binding protein, or in an active form consisting solely of the mature peptide homodimer. The mature peptide may also form heterodimers with Other TGF-beta family members. Mice lacking a functional copy of this gene display developmental defects in multiple organs and perinatal lethality. Heterozygous mutant mice exhibit aortic root aneurysm. This gene encodes multiple isoforms that may undergo similar proteolytic processing. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]
