Smad1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables several functions, including RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and primary miRNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cell surface receptor protein serine/threonine kinase signaling pathway; osteoblast differentiation; and positive regulation of miRNA transcription. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including brain development; positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process; and skeletal system development. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of homomeric SMAD protein complex and transcription regulator complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SMAD1 (SMAD family member 1).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Smad1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
