Also known as SMAD8SMAD8/9
Summary
SMAD9 (SMAD family member 9, HGNC:6774) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 13q13.3, encoding SMAD family member 9 (O15198). Transcriptional modulator activated by BMP (bone morphogenetic proteins) type 1 receptor kinase.
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the SMAD family, which transduces signals from TGF-beta family members. The encoded protein is activated by bone morphogenetic proteins and interacts with SMAD4. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Function. Transcriptional modulator activated by BMP (bone morphogenetic proteins) type 1 receptor kinase. SMAD9 is a receptor-regulated SMAD (R-SMAD).
Subunit / interactions. Interaction with the co-SMAD SMAD4. Interacts with PEBP2-alpha subunit. Interacts with RANBP3L.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in heart, brain, placenta, lung, skeletal muscle, prostate, testis, ovary and small intestine. Also expressed in fetal brain, lung and kidney.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated on serine by BMP (bone morphogenetic proteins) type 1 receptor kinase.
Disease relevance. Pulmonary hypertension, primary, 2 (PPH2) [MIM:615342] A rare disorder characterized by plexiform lesions of proliferating endothelial cells in pulmonary arterioles. The lesions lead to elevated pulmonary arterial pression, right ventricular failure, and death. The disease can occur from infancy throughout life and it has a mean age at onset of 36 years. Penetrance is reduced. Although familial pulmonary hypertension is rare, cases secondary to known etiologies are more common and include those associated with the appetite-suppressant drugs. The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the dwarfin/SMAD family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 108 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
