Abstract
Expression of RBPMS2 is present in visceral SMC precursors. Sustained expression of RBPMS2 inhibits the expression of markers of SMC differentiation by inhibiting bone morphogenetic protein activity, and stimulates SMC proliferation. RBPMS2 transcripts are up-regulated in patients with CIPO; alterations in RBPMS2 function might be involved in digestive motility disorders, particularly those characterized by the presence of muscular lesions (visceral myopathies).
