TGFA
Description
The TGFA (transforming growth factor alpha) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 2.
TGFA can refer to Transforming Growth Factor Alpha, a gene and protein involved in cell growth and development.
TGFA (Transforming Growth Factor Alpha) is a mitogenic polypeptide that binds to the EGF receptor (EGFR), stimulating cell growth. It also works together with TGF beta to promote the growth of cells even without attachment to a surface, a process called anchorage-independent cell proliferation.
TGFA is also known as TFGA.
