The protein encoded by this gene 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.
The encoded protein is a serine/threonine protein kinase.
Mutations in this gene have been associated with Loeys-Dietz aortic aneurysm syndrome (LDAS).
TGFB1 regulates cell cycle progression by a unique signaling mechanism that involves its binding to TGFBR2 and activation of TGFBR1.
Both are transmembrane serine/threonine receptor kinases.
The TGFBR1 receptor may be inactivated in many of the cases of human tumor cells refractory to TGFB- mediated cell cycle arrest.
Vellucci and Reiss (1997) reported that the TGFBR1 gene is approximately 31 kb long and contains 9 exons.
