Gene information for TGFA (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7039
Official gene symbolTGFA
Full nametransforming growth factor, alpha
Aliases,TFGA,
Gene summaryTransforming growth factors (TGFs) are biologically active polypeptides that reversibly confer the transformed phenotype on cultured cells. TGF-alpha shows about 40% sequence homology with epidermal growth factor (EGF; MIM 131530) and competes with EGF for binding to the EGF receptor (MIM 131550), stimulating its phosphorylation and producing a mitogenic response.[supplied by OMIM]
