Abstract excerpt
Signalling of the transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) family is tightly regulated by various mechanisms including negative feedback by Inhibitory Sma- and Mad-related proteins (Smads) (I-Smads: Smad6 and Smad7). Smad6 preferentially inhibits bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signalling, whereas Smad7 suppresses both TGF-β and BMP signalling. To elucidate the roles of Smad7 in murine development and in TGF-β...
