UniProt functional annotation for O95405

UniProt code: O95405.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Early endosomal protein that functions to recruit SMAD2/SMAD3 to intracellular membranes and to the TGF-beta receptor. Plays a significant role in TGF-mediated signaling by regulating the subcellular location of SMAD2 and SMAD3 and modulating the transcriptional activity of the SMAD3/SMAD4 complex. Possibly associated with TGF-beta receptor internalization. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15356634, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9865696}.
 
Subunit: Interacts (via the SBD region) with SMAD2; the interaction recruits SMAD2 to the TGF-beta receptor and is disrupted by phosphorylation of SMAD2 upon TGF-beta receptor activation. Interacts with SMAD3. Interacts with TGFBR1 and TGFBR2; the interaction recruits SMAD2 to the TGF-beta receptor. Interacts with PML. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10615055, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12154125, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15356634, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9865696}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm. Early endosome membrane.
Tissue specificity: Ubiquitous. In the brain found primarily in the cerebrovascular smooth muscle cells and reactive astrocytes.
Domain: The SMAD binding domain (SBD) interacts with the MH2 domains of SMAD2 or SMAD3.
Domain: The FYVE-type zinc finger is necessary and sufficient for its localization into early endosomes and mediates the association with PI3P.
Miscellaneous: [Isoform 2]: May be produced at very low levels due to a premature stop codon in the mRNA, leading to nonsense-mediated mRNA decay. {ECO:0000305}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=AAC99462.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Truncated N-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; Sequence=AAD31694.1; Type=Frameshift; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
