UniProt functional annotation for Q9Y2U8

UniProt code: Q9Y2U8.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Can function as a specific repressor of TGF-beta, activin, and BMP signaling through its interaction with the R-SMAD proteins. Antagonizes TGF-beta-induced cell proliferation arrest. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15601644, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15647271}.
 
Subunit: Interacts with SMAD1, SMAD2, SMAD3 and SMAD5. Binds to both phosphorylated and unphosphorylated R-SMADS. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15601644, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15647271}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus inner membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15647271}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15647271}.
Tissue specificity: Heart, brain, placenta, lung, liver and skeletal muscle.
Disease: Buschke-Ollendorff syndrome (BOS) [MIM:166700]: A disease characterized by osteopoikilosis and disseminated connective-tissue nevi. Osteopoikilosis is a skeletal dysplasia characterized by a symmetric but unequal distribution of multiple hyperostotic areas in different parts of the skeleton. Elastic-type nevi (juvenile elastoma) and collagen-type nevi (dermatofibrosis lenticularis disseminata) have been described in BOS. Skin or bony lesions can be absent in some family members, whereas other relatives may have both. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15489854, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19438932}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
