TGFBR2 Antibody – Polyclonal

This gene encodes a member of the Ser/Thr protein kinase family and the TGFB receptor subfamily. The encoded protein is a transmembrane protein that has a protein kinase domain, forms a heterodimeric complex with another receptor protein, and binds TGF-beta. This receptor/ligand complex phosphorylates proteins, which then enter the nucleus and regulate the transcription of a subset of genes related to cell proliferation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Marfan Syndrome, Loeys-Deitz Aortic Aneurysm Syndrome, and the development of various types of tumors. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

TGFBR2: a TKL kinase of the serine/threonine-protein kinase receptor (STKR) family. R1 and R2 TGF-beta receptors dimerize after binding TGF-beta at the cell surface. Binds to DAXX. Defects can cause esophageal cancer.
