TDGF1 Gene(Protein Coding) Teratocarcinoma-Derived Growth Factor 1

This gene encodes an epidermal growth factor-related protein that contains a cripto, FRL-1, and cryptic domain. The encoded protein is an extracellular, membrane-bound signaling protein that plays an essential role in embryonic development and tumor growth. Mutations in this gene are associated with forebrain defects. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 2, 3, 6, 8, 19 and X. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

GPI-anchored cell membrane protein involved in Nodal signaling. Cell-associated TDGF1 acts as a Nodal coreceptor in cis. Shedding of TDGF1 by TMEM8A modulates Nodal signaling by allowing soluble TDGF1 to act as a Nodal coreceptor on other cells (PubMed:27881714).
Could play a role in the determination of the epiblastic cells that subsequently give rise to the mesoderm (PubMed:11909953).

Cell membrane
Secreted
Released from the cell membrane by GPI cleavage.

The GPI-anchor is attached to the protein in the endoplasmic reticulum and serves to target the protein to the cell surface. There, it is processed by GPI processing phospholipase A2 (TMEM8A), removing an acyl-chain at the sn-2 position of GPI and releasing TDGF1 as a lysophosphatidylinositol-bearing form, which is further cleaved by phospholipase D (GPLD1) into a soluble form.
