TGFBR1 (Transforming Growth Factor Beta Receptor 1)

TGFBR1, or Transforming Growth Factor Beta Receptor 1, is a protein found on the surface of cells that plays a crucial role in regulating various biological processes. It helps cells respond to a signaling molecule called TGF-beta, which is involved in regulating growth, development, and immune responses. TGFBR1 influences cell behavior, including how cells grow, move, and communicate with each other. When this receptor functions properly, it helps maintain normal tissue function, but mutations or malfunctions can lead to diseases, including certain types of cancer and connective tissue disorders.
