Gene information for TGFBR3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7049
Official gene symbolTGFBR3
Full nametransforming growth factor, beta receptor III
Aliases,BGCAN,betaglycan,
Gene summaryThis locus encodes the transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta type III receptor. The encoded receptor is a membrane proteoglycan that often functions as a co-receptor with other TGF-beta receptor superfamily members. Ectodomain shedding produces soluble TGFBR3, which may inhibit TGFB signaling. Decreased expression of this receptor has been observed in various cancers. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene.
