Function
Transforming growth factor beta-3: Multifunctional protein that regulates embryogenesis and cell differentiation and is required in various processes such as secondary palate development. Activation into mature form follows different steps: following cleavage of the proprotein in the Golgi apparatus, Latency-associated peptide (LAP) and Transforming growth factor beta-3 (TGF-beta-3) chains remain non-covalently linked rendering TGF-beta-3 inactive during storage in extracellular matrix. At the same time, LAP chain interacts with 'milieu molecules', such as LTBP1 and LRRC32/GARP that control activation of TGF-beta-3 and maintain it in a latent state during storage in extracellular milieus.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Secreted
Disease Association: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, familial, 1 (ARVD1) : A congenital heart disease characterized by infiltration of adipose and fibrous tissue into the right ventricle and loss of myocardial cells, resulting in ventricular and supraventricular arrhythmias. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry] | Loeys-Dietz syndrome 5 (LDS5) : A form of Loeys-Dietz syndrome, a syndrome with widespread systemic involvement characterized by arterial tortuosity and aneurysms, hypertelorism, and bifid uvula or cleft palate. LDS5 additional variable features include mitral valve disease, skeletal overgrowth, cervical spine instability, and clubfoot deformity. LDS5 patients do not manifest remarkable aortic or arterial tortuosity, and there is no strong evidence for early aortic dissection.
