Combining with a transforming growth factor beta (TGFbeta) and transmitting the signal from one side of the membrane to the other to initiate a change in cell activity by catalysis of the reaction: ATP protein serine = ADP + protein serine phosphate, and ATP + protein threonine = ADP + protein threonine phosphate.

Term information
Note that this term represents an activity and not a gene product, and should only be used when the receptor binds the ligand TGFbeta. For binding to other growth factors, consider annotating to terms under 'transmembrane signaling receptor activity ; GO:0004888.
