| Tissue Specificity | Isoform B: Expressed in the brain, heart, ovary, peripheral blood leukocytes, small intestine, spleen, thymus, bone marrow, fetal liver and lymph nodes. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated by BMP type 1 receptor kinase and by PRKX. Monoubiquitinated at Lys-173 by the E2/E3 hybrid ubiquitin-protein ligase UBE2O, leading to reduced binding affinity for the activated BMP type I receptor ACVR1/ALK2, thereby enhancing BMP7 and regulating adipocyte differentiation. Ubiquitinated by WWP1. Ubiquitinated by ARK2C, promoting proteasomal degradation, leading to enhance the BMP-Smad signaling. Arginine methylation by PRMT1, which is recruited by BMPR2, initiates BMP-Induced signaling and induces dissociation from the BMPR1B receptor at the cell surface leading to derepress downstream Smad1/Smad5 signaling. |
| Function | Transforming growth factor-beta superfamily receptors signaling occurs through the Smad family of intracellular mediators. SMAD6 is an inhibitory Smad (i-Smad) that negatively regulates signaling downstream of type I transforming growth factor-beta. Acts as a mediator of TGF-beta and BMP anti-inflammatory activities. Suppresses IL1R-TLR signaling through its direct interaction with PEL1, preventing NF-kappa-B activation, nuclear transport and NF-kappa-B-mediated expression of pro-inflammatory genes. Blocks the BMP-SMAD1 signaling pathway by competing with SMAD4 for receptor-activated SMAD1-binding. Binds to regulatory elements in target promoter regions. |
