Transforming Growth Factor alpha

An EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR related protein that is found in a variety of tissues including EPITHELIUM, and maternal DECIDUA. It is synthesized as a transmembrane protein which can be cleaved to release a soluble active form which binds to the EGF RECEPTOR.

Also Known As:

TGF-alpha; TGFalpha; Epidermal Growth Factor Related Transforming Growth Factor; Epidermal Growth Factor-Related Transforming Growth Factor
