TGFβR1 or transforming growth factor, beta-receptor 1 is a member of the TGFβ receptor subfamily and is a ser/thr protein kinase that forms a heteromeric complex with type II TGF-beta receptors when bound to TGF-beta, transducing the TGF-beta signal from the cell surface to the cytoplasm. Mutations in TGFβR1gene have been associated with Marfan syndrome, Loeys-Deitz Aortic Aneurysm Syndrome, and the development of various types of tumors. TGFβR1-dependent signaling is required for angiogenesis but not for the development of hematopoietic progenitor cells and functional hematopoiesis.
Deletion of the transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) gene in mice has previously suggested that it regulates both hematopoiesis and angiogenesis. To define the function of TGF-beta more precisely, we inactivated the TGF-beta type I receptor (TbetaRI) gene by gene
Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant connective tissue disorder characterized by manifestations in the cardiovascular, skeletal, ocular, and other organ systems. MFS type1 (MFS1) is caused by mutations in the gene encoding fibrillin (FBN1). Recently, the transforming growth factor-beta
