- Source: Mothers against decapentaplegic
Mothers against decapentaplegic is a protein from the SMAD family that was discovered in Drosophila. During Drosophila research, it was found that a mutation in the gene in the mother repressed the gene decapentaplegic in the embryo. The phrase "Mothers against" was added as a humorous take-off on organizations opposing various issues e.g. Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD); and based on a tradition of such unusual naming within the gene research community.
Several human homologues are known:
Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 1
Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 2
Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 3
Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 4
Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 5
Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 6
Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 7
Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 9
