SMAD5 SMAD family member 5

Gene ID: 4090, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DWFC; JV5-1; MADH5

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is involved in the transforming growth factor beta signaling pathway that results in an inhibition of the proliferation of hematopoietic progenitor cells. The encoded protein is activated by bone morphogenetic proteins type 1 receptor kinase, and may be involved in cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
