Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 76905 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables transforming growth factor beta receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including brown fat cell differentiation; positive regulation of endothelial cell proliferation; and positive regulation of transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in pancreas mesenchyme. Orthologous to human LRG1 (leucine rich alpha-2-glycoprotein 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit Tgfbr1-dependent increased growth of LCC tumor allografts. [provided by MGI curators] |
