Early endosomal protein that functions to recruit SMAD2/SMAD3 to intracellular membranes and to the TGF-beta receptor. Plays a significant role in TGF-mediated signaling by regulating the subcellular location of SMAD2 and SMAD3 and modulating the transcriptional activity of the SMAD3/SMAD4 complex. Possibly associated with TGF-beta receptor internalization.
Cytoplasm. Early endosome membrane.
Ubiquitous. In the brain found primarily in the cerebrovascular smooth muscle cells and reactive astrocytes.
