Target Background

Function
(From Uniprot)
TGF alpha is a mitogenic polypeptide that is able to bind to the EGF receptor/EGFR and to act synergistically with TGF beta to promote anchorage-independent cell proliferation in soft agar.

  1. Tgfa null mice are equally susceptible to spontaneous osteoarthritis development during aging. PMID: 27457421
  2. Here the authors show that the mammalian rhomboid protease RHBDL4 (also known as Rhbdd1) promotes trafficking of several membrane proteins, including the EGFR ligand TGFalpha, from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi apparatus, thereby triggering their secretion by extracellular microvesicles. PMID: 27264103

  13. beta-catenin controlled both cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous hepatocyte proliferation, through direct transcriptional and complex control of cyclin D1 gene expression and of the expression of a new target gene, Tgfalpha. PMID: 21145869
  14. variable TGF-alpha expression may explain, in part, the genetic susceptibility to chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. PMID: 21183591
