Tgfbi - transforming growth factor, beta induced

Enables extracellular matrix binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cell adhesion and extracellular matrix organization. Located in extracellular matrix and extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart and pericardium; sensory organ; and skeleton. Used to study corneal dystrophy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in corneal dystrophy (multiple). Orthologous to human TGFBI (transforming growth factor beta induced). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
