Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionsma-6 encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase that is orthologous to type I TGF-beta receptors; sma-6 activity is required for regulating body length and for proper development of the male tail; sma-6, along with other genes in the TGF-beta Sma/Mab pathway, also regulates reproductive aging; a reduction of TGF-beta pathway genes extends reproductive span by maintaining oocyte and germline quality; sma-6 expression first begins at the 1.5-fold stage of embryogenesis and continues through adulthood; sma-6 is expressed in dorsal and ventral hypodermis, pharyngeal muscle, and the intestine; expression in the hypodermis is necessary and sufficient for body length regulation.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00003400

Automated_descriptionEnables BMP binding activity. Involved in several processes, including defense response to other organism; nematode male tail tip morphogenesis; and positive regulation of nitrogen compound metabolic process. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Expressed in ASI; hypodermis; intestinal cell; pharynx; and tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including bone development disease (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); and glaucoma (multiple). Is an ortholog of human BMPR1B (bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 1B).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
