Gene: SMAD5

Alternate names for this Gene: DWFC|JV5-1|MADH5

Gene 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 5

Location in Chromosome : 5q31.1

Description of this Gene: SMAD family member 5

Type of Gene: protein-coding
