Official Full Name: transforming growth factor beta receptor 1
Also known as: AAT5; ALK5; ESS1; LDS1; MSSE; SKR4; TBRI; ALK-5; LDS1A; LDS2A; TBR-i; TGFR-1; ACVRLK4; tbetaR-I
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). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
