ANTI-PHOSPHO-SMAD3 (PSER204)ANTIBODY PRODUCED IN RABBIT (C15-1735-228)

General description

The SMAD3 (mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 3) gene is mapped to human chromosome 15q22.33. SMAD proteins contains three main domains : MH1 (MAD homology 1) - amino terminal domain (highly conserved), MH2 - carboxy terminal domain and a linker domain between the two domains. The MH1 domain of Smad3 serves as a DNA binding motif.(8)

Immunogen

The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human Smad3 around the phosphorylation site of Ser204.

Immunogen Range: 170-219

Application

Anti-phospho-Smad3 (pSer204) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blot analysis.(7)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Smad3 (mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 3) protein identifies tandem repeats of the palindromic sequence GTCTAGAC, which is part of TGF-β (transforming growth factor β) signaling promoter region. Smad3 is associated with TGF-β (transforming growth factor beta) signaling pathway, a cellular process regulating the homeostasis, development, and repair of cartilage. It is known to induce extracellular matrix production. Smad proteins are responsible for the transduction of signals from cell surface to the nucleus. Phosphorylation of Smad3 controls tumor progression, inflammation, fibrosis, obesity and diabetes. Smad3 expression might be associated with the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis.
