Description:
The product encoded by this gene is a distant member of the FCP/SCP phosphatase family. It contains a CTD phosphatase catalytic domain (CPDc) and the gene is 47% homologous to FCP1. It functions as a Smad phosphatase in the nucleus. It physically interacts with and specifically dephosphorylates Smad1/5/8 at the C-terminal SXS motif, and as a result attenuates the BMP signaling pathway. CTDSPL2 gene expression is increased during erythroid differentiation and has been experimentally shown to significantly improve expression of embryonic and fetal globin genes in K562 cells and human cord blood-derived CD34+ haematopoietic stem cells.
Synonyms: HSPC058 , HSPC129 , FLJ10523
