{{Short description|Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens}}

Smoothelin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SMTN gene.{{cite journal | vauthors = Engelen JJ, Esterling LE, Albrechts JC, Detera-Wadleigh SD, van Eys GJ | title = Assignment of the human gene for smoothelin (SMTN) to chromosome 22q12 by fluorescence in situ hybridization and radiation hybrid mapping | journal = Genomics | volume = 43 | issue = 2 | pages = 245–7 |date=Sep 1997 | pmid = 9244445 | doi = 10.1006/geno.1997.9999 }}{{cite journal | vauthors = van der Loop FT, Schaart G, Timmer ED, Ramaekers FC, van Eys GJ | title = Smoothelin, a novel cytoskeletal protein specific for smooth muscle cells | journal = J Cell Biol | volume = 134 | issue = 2 | pages = 401–11 |date=Sep 1996 | pmid = 8707825 | pmc = 2120883 | doi =10.1083/jcb.134.2.401 }}{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: SMTN smoothelin| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=6525}}

This gene encodes a structural protein that is found exclusively in contractile smooth muscle cells. It associates with stress fibers and constitutes part of the cytoskeleton. This gene is localized to chromosome 22q12.3, distal to the TUPLE1 locus and outside the DiGeorge syndrome deletion. Alternative splicing of this gene results in three transcript variants.{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: SMTN smoothelin| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=6525}}
