SYNONYMS

  • MADH8
  • MAD (mothers against decapentaplegic, Drosophila) homolog 7
  • SMAD7

 

 

Chromosome human

  • The encoding sequences for these proteins are organized in two gene clusters, one at 18q21 (SMAD2, SMAD4, and SMAD7)…Jonson T, Gorunova L, Dawiskiba S, Andren-Sandberg A, Stenman G, ten Dijke P, Johansson B, Hoglund M.

 

 

Function

  • Phosphorylation of Smad2/Smad3 by activated TbetaRI is inhibited by two newly discovered members of the Smad family, Smad6 and Smad7.Kleeff J, Ishiwata T, Maruyama H, Friess H, Truong P, Buchler MW, Falb D, Korc M.

 

 

Oncogenicity

  • Smad7 mRNA levels are increased in human pancreatic cancer by comparison with the normal pancreas. Kleeff J, Ishiwata T, Maruyama H, Friess H, Truong P, Buchler MW, Falb D, Korc M.
