SMAD5

Function

Transcriptional modulator activated by BMP (bone morphogenetic proteins) type 1 receptor kinase. SMAD5 is a receptor-regulated SMAD (R-SMAD).

Post-translational modifications

Phosphorylated on serine by BMP (bone morphogenetic proteins) type 1 receptor kinase.

Ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis by SMAD-specific E3 ubiquitin ligase SMURF1.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the dwarfin/SMAD family.

Tissue specificity

Ubiquitous.

Cellular localization

  • Cytoplasm
  • Nucleus
  • Cytoplasmic in the absence of ligand. Migrates to the nucleus when complexed with SMAD4.
