SMAD4 plays a pivotal role in signal transduction of the transforming growth factor beta superfamily cytokines by mediating transcriptional activation of target genes. Smad4 signalling in T cells is required for suppression of gastrointestinal cancer. Mutational inactivation of SMAD4 causes TGF-beta unresponsiveness and gave a basis for understanding the physiologic role of this gene in tumorigenesis. Mutations in DPC4 (SMAD4) cause juvenile polyposis syndrome, but only account for a minority of cases.
