TGFBR3 (Transforming growth factor beta receptor type 3) is a gene. The public catalogues list it as a biomarker, and clinical evidence ties its variants to diagnosis, prognosis or drug response. Tied to Prostate cancer. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

Cell surface receptor that regulates diverse cellular processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and apoptosis. Initiates BMP, inhibin, and TGF-beta signalling pathways by interacting with different ligands including TGFB1, BMP2, BMP5, BMP7 or GDF5. Alternatively, acts as a cell surface coreceptor for BMP ligands, serving to enhance ligand binding by differentially regulating BMPR1A/ALK3 and BMPR1B/ALK6 receptor trafficking. Promotes epithelial cell adhesion, focal adhesion formation and integrin signalling during epithelial cell spreading on fibronectin. By interacting with the scaffolding protein beta-arrestin2/ARRB2, regulates migration or actin cytoskeleton and promotes the activation of CDC42 as well as the inhibition of NF-kappa-B. In gonadotrope cells, acts as an inhibin A coreceptor and regulates follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels and female fertility. Location: Cell membrane; Secreted; Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix (UniProt). Locus 1p22.1 (HGNC).
