Tgfb1 - transforming growth factor, beta 1

Enables identical protein binding activity and protein N-terminus binding activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ development; cellular response to hormone stimulus; and regulation of epithelial cell proliferation. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of smooth muscle cell differentiation. Located in several cellular components, including cell surface; neuronal cell body; and secretory granule. Used to study chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; familial hyperlipidemia; hypertension; proteinuria; and pulmonary fibrosis. Biomarker of several diseases, including allergic rhinitis; artery disease (multiple); cerebrovascular disease (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Behcet's disease; Camurati-Engelmann disease; aphthous stomatitis; artery disease (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Orthologous to human TGFB1 (transforming growth factor beta 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
