NCIt definition : TGF-beta receptor type-1 (503 aa, 56 kDa) is encoded by the human TGFBR1 gene. This
protein plays a role in both TGF-beta-dependent signaling and serine/threonine phosphorylation.;
NCIt note : There are three TGF-beta receptors, Type I and Type II together form a heterodimeric
signaling complex that is essential for the transduction of the anti-proliferative
signals of TGF-beta. Type III is a transmembrane proteoglycan with a large extracellular
domain and a cytoplasmic domain that lacks an obvious signaling motif.;
