FunctionTGF-β receptors (Transforming Growth Factor) (TGFBR) are serine/threonine kinase receptors. They are involved in paracrine signaling and are found in many types of tissue. TGF-β ligands include bone morphogenetic proteins, growth and initiation factors, anti-Mullerian hormone, activin, nodal TGF-β[1]. There are 3 types of TGFBR:
- TGFBR I forms heteromeric complex with TGFBR II when it is bound to TGF-β. The complex transduces the TGF-β signal from the cell surface to the cytoplasm by phosphorylating proteins which regulate the transcription of genes related to cell proliferation. TGFBR I has high affinity for TGF-β1 and low affinity for TGF-β2.
- TGFBR II is a tumor suppressor transmembrane protein. TGFBR II has high affinity for TGF-β1 and low affinity for TGF-β2.
- TGFBR III is a cell-surface chondroitin sulfate / heparin sulfate proteoglycan. It acts as a reservoir of ligand for TGFBRs. TGFBR III has high affinity for TGF-β1, TGF-β2 and TGF-β1.2.
DiseaseOver-expression of TGF causes kidney disease, diabetes and renal disease. Mutations in TGFBR II cause various types of tumors[2].
Structural highlightsTGFBR structure contains a 100-140 residues ligand-binding N-terminal extracellular domain; a transmembrane domain; a 350-400 amino acid cytoplasmic kinase domain; and a C-terminal zona pellucida (ZP) domain of ca 260 residues which has a role in protein polymerization.
