Summary | This gene encodes a member of a small family of proteins that play a key role in the response of cells to extracellular growth signals. The encoded protein regulates members of the transforming growth factor beta signaling pathway. It is highly expressed in certain cancer cells, where it may have both tumor-suppressing and tumor-promoting roles. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2012]. |
