MeSH definition : A family of proteins that are involved in the translocation of signals from TGF-BETA
RECEPTORS; BONE MORPHOGENETIC PROTEIN RECEPTORS; and other surface receptors to the
CELL NUCLEUS. They were originally identified as a class of proteins that are related
to the mothers against decapentaplegic protein, Drosophila and sma proteins from CAENORHABDITIS
ELEGANS.;
MeSH synonym : sma- and mad-related proteins; mothers against decapentaplegic homolog;
