TGFBR2

TGFBR2 (Transforming Growth Factor Beta Receptor 2) is a protein found on the surface of cells that acts as part of a communication system. It detects signals from a molecule called TGF-beta, which helps regulate cell growth, development, and repair. When TGF-beta binds to TGFBR2, it triggers a series of internal signals that influence how cells behave. Proper function of TGFBR2 is essential for maintaining healthy tissues and preventing abnormal cell growth. Mutations or disruptions in TGFBR2 can be linked to certain diseases, including some cancers and developmental disorders.
