Background
Transcriptional modulator activated by BMP (bone morphogenetic proteins) type 1 receptor kinase. Smad5 is a receptor-regulated Smad (R-Smad). Smad5 is required for normal development of the cardiovascular system in vivo; lack of the Smad5 gene results in apoptosis of cardiac myocytes. 3 Upregulation of Smad5 has been reported to mediate apoptosis of gastric epithelial cells induced by Helicobacter pylori infection. Tissue specificity: Ubiquitous.
