Teratocarcinoma-derived growth factor 1

Teratocarcinoma-derived growth factor 1 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the TDGF1 is_associated_with::gene. The protein is an is_associated_with::extracellular, membrane-bound signaling protein that plays an essential role in embryonic development and is_associated_with::tumor growth. Mutations in this gene are associated with is_associated_with::forebrain defects. is_associated_with::Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 2, 3, 6, 8, 19 and X. is_associated_with::Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
