Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Predicted to enable DNA-binding transcription factor activity, RNA polymerase II-specific; I-SMAD binding activity; and RNA polymerase II cis-regulatory region sequence-specific DNA binding activity. Involved in SMAD protein signal transduction and ureteric bud development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including BMP signaling pathway; brain development; and skeletal system development. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including craniocervical region bone; embryo mesenchyme; heart and pericardium; sensory organ; and urinary system. Used to study primary pulmonary hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary pulmonary hypertension. Orthologous to human SMAD9 (SMAD family member 9).
