Gene information for TDGF1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID6997
Official gene symbolTDGF1
Full nameteratocarcinoma-derived growth factor 1
Aliases,CR,CRGF,CRIPTO,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes an epidermal growth factor-related protein that contains a cripto, FRL-1, and cryptic domain. The encoded protein is an extracellular, membrane-bound signaling protein that plays an essential role in embryonic development and tumor growth. Mutations in this gene are associated with forebrain defects. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 2, 3, 6, 8, 19 and X. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
