teratocarcinoma-derived growth factor 3; cripto-3 growth factor; epidermal growth factor-like cripto protein CR3; teratocarcinoma-derived growth factor 1 pseudogene 3 (TDGF1P3, CRIPTO3, TDGF2, TDGF3)

Function: - may play a role in the determination of the epiblastic cells that subsequently give rise to the mesoderm - activates the nodal-dependent signaling pathway Structure: contains 1 EGF-like domain Compartment: cell membrane Expression: - expressed weakly in lung, colon & breast - expressed strongly in primary cancer tissues; lung cancer & colon cancer Note: - could be the product of a pseudogene - the TDGF3 locus has characteristics of a retrotransposon, including lack of introns & a poly(A) sequence
