Description:
TGFBR3 is a transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) type III receptor. The TGFβ signal is transduced through type I (TGFBR1) and type II (TGFBR2) serine/threonine kinase receptors to downstream effectors that are involved in transcriptional regulatory networks. TGFBR2 binds the TGFβ ligands but it requires TGFBR1 for signalling. TGFBR3 has no known signalling domain. It is a membrane proteoglycan that functions as a co-receptor, binding TGFβ and presenting it to TGFBR2. It can also undergo ectodomain shedding to produce soluble TGFBR3, which binds and retains TGFβ to inhibit signalling. Decreased expression of this receptor has been observed in various cancers. Polymorphisms in this gene associated with osteonecrosis, pulmonary hypertension, stroke, priapism and leg ulceration in sickle cell patients.
