TFG protein, a recently identified novel protein, is a human homolog of mouse TFG protein. It contains an N-terminal coiled-coil structure, a SPYGQ-rich region followed by octicosapeptide repeats. Research shows that TFG can modulate SHP-1 activity and is a novel member of the NF-kB pathway. The physiological functions of this protein remain largely elusive, but TFG is thought to function by associating with other proteins, including TANK and NEMO. TFG was first identified as a partner of NTRK1 and is involved in generating the thyroid TRK-T3 oncogene, as well as oncogenic rearrangements with ALK in anaplastic lymphoma and NOR1 in mixoid chondrosarcoma.
