Transforming Growth Factor alpha (TGF-a ) is a 50 amino acid protein that is encoded by the TGFA gene and it is involved in cellular signaling and the regulation of normal and malignant cell growth by protein kinase activity. TGF-? is one of the various ligands for the epidermal growth factor receptor and involved in the regulation of development and progression by activating a signaling pathway of gastrointestinal tumors. Macrophages secrete TGF-a to trigger proliferation of cancer cells. TGF-a is synthesized by several cells, like macrophages, brain cells, epidermal keratinocytes, fibroblasts, and cells of hematopoetic origin like eosinophils and stimulated macrophages
