Summary

TGFBR3 (transforming growth factor beta receptor 3, HGNC:11774) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1p22.1, encoding Transforming growth factor beta receptor type 3 (Q03167). Cell surface receptor that regulates diverse cellular processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and apoptosis.

This locus encodes the transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta type III receptor. The encoded receptor is a membrane proteoglycan that often functions as a co-receptor with other TGF-beta receptor superfamily members. Ectodomain shedding produces soluble TGFBR3, which may inhibit TGFB signaling. Decreased expression of this receptor has been observed in various cancers. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified for this gene.

Function. Cell surface receptor that regulates diverse cellular processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and apoptosis. Initiates BMP, inhibin, and TGF-beta signaling pathways by interacting with different ligands including TGFB1, BMP2, BMP5, BMP7 or GDF5. Alternatively, acts as a cell surface coreceptor for BMP ligands, serving to enhance ligand binding by differentially regulating BMPR1A/ALK3 and BMPR1B/ALK6 receptor trafficking. Promotes epithelial cell adhesion, focal adhesion formation and integrin signaling during epithelial cell spreading on fibronectin. By interacting with the scaffolding protein beta-arrestin2/ARRB2, regulates migration or actin cytoskeleton and promotes the activation of CDC42 as well as the inhibition of NF-kappa-B. In gonadotrope cells, acts as an inhibin A coreceptor and regulates follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) levels and female fertility. Plays a role in the inhibition of directed and random cell migration in epithelial cells by altering the actin cytoskeletal organization. Participates in epithelial-mesenchymal transformation (EMT) upon binding to BMP2 or TGFB2, by activating the PAR6/SMURF1/RHOA pathway. (Microbial infection) May act as a receptor for human cytomegalovirus in different cell types by interacting with HCMV trimer composed of GO, GH and GL.

Subunit / interactions. Forms homodimers and homooligomers. Interacts with DYNLT4. Interacts with integrin ITGA5:ITGB1; this interaction promotes the internalization and trafficking of ITGA5:ITGB1 into endocytic vesicles. Interacts with TGFB1, BMP2, BMP5, BMP7 or GDF5 and inhibin A via the ligand binding domains. Interacts with ALK3/BMPR1A; this interaction results in the cell surface retention of BMPR1A. Interacts with ALK6/BMPR1B; this interaction enhances BMPR1B-mediated stimulation of the BMP signaling pathway. Interacts with the scaffolding protein beta-arrestin2/ARRB2; this interaction mediates internalization of TGFBR3 and thus regulates migration, actin cytoskeleton and activation of CDC42. (Microbial infection) Interacts with human cytomegalovirus trimer complex composed of gH, gL, and gO; these interactions may promote HCMV cell entry in specific cell types.

Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Secreted. Extracellular space. Extracellular matrix.

Post-translational modifications. Extensively modified by glycosaminoglycan groups (GAG). Phosphorylated in the cytoplasmic domain by the type II receptor TGFBR2 at THR-840 to mediate recruitment of ARRB2 and subsequent internalization of TGFBR2 and TGFBR3.

Enriched among interaction partners

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 58 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
