Gene Information

human ... SMAD3(4088)

General description

The members of Smad family of proteins are essential intracellular mediators of TGF-β signaling.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human SMAD3

Application

Anti-SMAD3 antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 2 μg/ml. For immunohistochemistry of paraffin-embedded tissue sections, a concentration of 4-8 μg/ml is suitable.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Smad3 is phosphorylated by TGF-b, heterodimerizes with Smad4 and enters the nucleus. The heterodimer binds within the promoter of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and induces its expression.

Sequence

Synthetic peptide located within the following region: FTPPIVKRLLGWKKGEQNGQEEKWCEKAVKSLVKKLKKTGQLDELEKAIT

Physical form

Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.

Smad family members are newly identified essential intracellular signalling components of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily. Smad2 and Smad3 are structurally highly similar and mediate TGF-beta signals. Smad4 is distantly related to Smads 2 and 3, and forms a

Mounting evidence indicates that Smad proteins are required for TGF beta signaling, but the way(s) in which Smad proteins propagate this signal is unclear. We found that two human Smad proteins (Smad3 and Smad4) could specifically recognize an identical 8

Smad3 functions as an integrator of diverse signaling, including transforming growth factor β signaling and the function of Smad3 is complexly regulated by differential phosphorylation at various sites of Smad3. Despite the importance of Smad3 and its various phosphoisoforms, their
