Predicted to enable several functions, including cytokine activity; transforming growth factor beta binding activity; and transforming growth factor beta receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including regulation of signal transduction; response to estrogen; and skeletal system morphogenesis. Located in several cellular components, including T-tubule; neuronal cell body; and secretory granule. Biomarker of diabetic neuropathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Loeys-Dietz syndrome 5; arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy; and arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia 1. Orthologous to human TGFB3 (transforming growth factor beta 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
