TGFBR2 Antibody

Background:

TGFBR2 is a member of the Ser/Thr protein kinase family and the TGFB receptor subfamily. The 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 its gene have been associated with Marfan Syndrome, Loeys-Deitz Aortic Aneurysm Syndrome, and the development of various types of tumors.This gene is a member of the Ser/Thr protein kinase family and the TGFB receptor subfamily. It encodes 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. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized.
