Tgfbi Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables extracellular matrix binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cell adhesion and extracellular matrix organization. Located in extracellular matrix and extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart and pericardium; sensory organ; and skeletal system. Used to study corneal dystrophy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in corneal dystrophy (multiple). Orthologous to human TGFBI (transforming growth factor beta induced). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Tgfbi often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • Fasciclin domain
  • FAS1 domain
  • extracellular matrix binding
  • integrin binding
  • Tyr/His-rich motif
  • RGD motif
  • extracellular matrix structural constituent
  • collagen binding
  • protein binding
  • identical protein binding
