Gene: TGFBR3
Alternate names for this Gene: BGCAN|betaglycan
Gene Summary: This 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.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 1
Location in Chromosome : 1p22.1
Description of this Gene: transforming growth factor beta receptor 3
Type of Gene: protein-coding
