CATEGORY

signaling cytokine growth factor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,endosome

basic FUNCTION	having suppressing effects on interleukin-2 dependent T-cell growth
	antagonist of BMP7 in human trabecular meshwork cells
	TGFB2 and hyaluronan signals are integrated to regulate changes in epicardial cell behavior
	increases extracellular matrix proteins in optic nerve head cells via activation of the Smad signaling pathway
	TGFB2, GREM1 and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) are known to play important roles in the induction of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) and extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis
	Müller cells release TGFB2, inhibiting the proliferation of retinal endothelial cells via activation of Smad2/Smad3 and attenuation of ERK signaling
	TGFB2 is likely to be acting as a critical factor in axial elongation and development of myopia

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

signal transduction

via the SMAD (MADH2 or MADH3-MADH4) complex

a component

forming a small latent complex by disulfide binding between TGFB dimer and the propeptide dimer TGFbeta 1 latency associated polypeptide (LAP)

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	IL2 suppressor of IL-2 dependent T cell growth
	PAX3 regulates TGFbeta2 by directly binding to cis-regulatory elements on its promoter
	interacting with CDKN2A (TGFB2 and CDKN2A act in a linear pathway during embryonic development)
	HOXA10 target gene (HOXA10 activated TGFB2 transcription by interacting with tandem cis elements in the promoter)
	GREM1 also induces both TGFB2 and CTGF, which can act downstream to mediate some of these ECM changes in trabecular meshwork (TM)cells
	SDC2 modulates TGFB2 transcriptional regulation via Smad signaling to facilitate fibrosarcoma cell adhesion
	regulates hypothalamic TRH expression through the TGFbeta inducible early gene-1 (KLF10) during fetal development
	HOXB7 promotes tumor progression in a cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous manner through activation of the TGFb2 signaling pathway

cell & other

REGULATION

induced by

resveratrol (a polyphenolic compound found in the skin of red fruits)

inhibited by

CNTN2 (CNTN2 inhibits TGFbeta2-mediated neuronal cell death via APP by attenuating the binding of TGFbeta2 to APP in a gamma-secretase-independent manner, which may contribute to the onset and the progression of Alzheimer disease-relevant neuronal cell death)

Other

regulated by cytokines (may be responsible for the biological behaviour)

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

Tgfb2-null mice die shortly after birth and have ascending aortas that are comparatively small and thin walled and other development defects involving the heart, lung, craniofacial, limb, spinal column, eye, inner ear and urogenital systems
