Swiss-port # P01135 Human Protransforming growth factor alpha |

Gene Symbol | TGFA |
Gene Full Name | transforming growth factor, alpha |
Background | This gene encodes a growth factor that is a ligand for the epidermal growth factor receptor, which activates a signaling pathway for cell proliferation, differentiation and development. This protein may act as either a transmembrane-bound ligand or a soluble ligand. This gene has been associated with many types of cancers, and it may also be involved in some cases of cleft lip/palate. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011] |
Function | TGF alpha is a mitogenic polypeptide that is able to bind to the EGF receptor/EGFR and to act synergistically with TGF beta to promote anchorage-independent cell proliferation in soft agar. [UniProt] |
Cellular Localization | Cytoplasmic and secreted |
Calculated MW | 17 kDa |
