Description:
TGFBR1 is a member of the transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) receptor family of serine/threonine kinases. The binding of TGFβ to type II (TGFBR2) and type I (TGFBR1) receptors mediates the formation of a receptor heterocomplex required for signal transduction. TGFBR2 binds the TGFβ ligand but it requires TGFBF1 for signalling. This receptor/ligand complex recruits and phosphorylates SMAD proteins, which act as transcriptional mediators in the TGFβ signalling pathway to modulate gene transcription. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Loeys-Dietz aortic aneurysm syndrome (LDAS). Polymorphisms in this gene have been associated with glomerular filtration rate and renal damage in patients with sickle cell disease. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
