Tgfb3 - transforming growth factor, beta 3 Gene
Also Known as Tgfb-3; TGF-beta-3
Species: Mus musculus
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. This protein is involved in embryogenesis and cell differentiation, and may play a role in wound healing. Homozygous knockout mice for this gene exhibit cleft palate, delayed pulmonary development and neonatal death. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]
