Transforming growth factor beta 2 (Tgf-b2) is a member of the tgf family of growth factors involved in the regulation of a variety of cellular activities. The role of Tgf-b2 in zebrafish is not well-characterized in scientific literature. In humans, Tgf-b2 is associated with wound healing, bone formation and modulation of immune functions. Disruption of Tgf-b2 is a factor in Peters' anomaly, a congenital eye defect consisting of a central corneal leukoma, absence of the posterior corneal stroma and Descemet membrane, and a variable degree of iris and lenticular attachments to the central aspect of the posterior cornea.
