It is a type of protein, known as a cytokine, which is involved in cell differentiation, embryogenesis and development. It belongs to a large family of cytokines called the Transforming growth factor beta superfamily, which includes the TGF-β family, Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), growth and differentiation factors (GDFs), inhibins and activins.<ref name = herpin>{{cite journal | vauthors = Herpin A, Lelong C, Favrel P | title = Transforming growth factor-beta-related proteins: an ancestral and widespread superfamily of cytokines in metazoans | journal = Developmental and Comparative Immunology | volume = 28 | issue = 5 | pages = 461–85 | date = May 2004 | pmid = 15062644 | doi = 10.1016/j.dci.2003.09.007 }}</ref>

TGF-β3 is believed to regulate molecules involved in cellular adhesion and extracellular matrix (ECM) formation during the process of palate development.
