SMAD6 or '''mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 6''' is a polypeptide that, as its name describes, is a homolog of the Drosophila gene " Mothers Against Decapentaplegic ". It belongs to the SMAD family of proteins, which belong to the TGFβ superfamily of modulators. Like many other TGFβ family members SMAD6 is involved in Cell Signalling . It acts as a regulator of TGFβ family (such as Bone Morphogenetic Proteins ) activity by competing with SMAD4 and preventing the transcription of SMAD4 's gene products. There are two known isoforms of this protein.
