Transforming growth factor beta receptor III (TGF-beta RIII; also betaglycan) is a ubiquitously expressed, 280 kDa type I transmembrane proteoglycan member of the TGF-beta superfamily of proteins. This receptor is a membrane proteoglycan that often functions as a co-receptor with other TGF-beta receptor superfamily members. TGF-beta RIII can enhance or inhibit cell signaling. TGF-beta RIII has been shown to play an essential role in the formation of the atrioventricular cushion and coronary vessels during development of the heart. TGF beta RIII also plays a role in many cancers. Increased expression of TGF beta RIII is found in higher grade lymphomas, and reduced expression of TGF beta RIII is found with advanced stage neuroblastomas and ovarian carcinomas. Low TGF-beta RIII expression also correlates with higher grade among a cohort of breast cancers. TGFBR3 is known to be expressed in adult testis and ovary, but little is known about this receptor during gonadogenesis.

< 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method.
