Mammalian dwarfins are phosphorylated in response to transforming growth factor beta and are implicated in control of cell growth, PNAS volume 93 pp. 8940-8944, August 1996

"These three genes define a protein family, the dwarfins, that includes the Mad gene product, which participates in the decapentaplegic TGF-beta-like pathway in Drosophila." Caenorhabditis elegans genes sma-2, sma-3, and sma-4 define a conserved family of transforming growth factor beta pathway components.
