A family of proteins has been identified that transduce a signal inside cells following binding of a TGF-beta family ligand to its cognate receptor. Like the prototype Drosophila protein Mad, many members of the family play key roles in developmental signalling.
已鉴定出一类蛋白质,其在TGF-β家族配体与其同源受体结合后在细胞内传导信号。与果蝇原型蛋白Mad一样,该家族的许多成员在发育信号传导中发挥关键作用。
