Antigen: portion of amino acids 100-150 of human SMAD3 . Host: rabbit . Cross Reactivity: (+) Bovine, canine, human, mouse, porcine, rat, and rhesus monkey SMAD3; predicted to react with chicken, Xenopus, and zebrafish SMAD3 . Application(s): IHC and WB . SMAD3 is a receptor-regulated SMAD (R-SMAD) that functions downstream of TGF-(beta) and activin receptors and mediates their signaling. It is recruited by SARA (SMAD anchor for receptor activation) to the receptor kinase for phosphorylation. Upon phosphorylation it plays role in cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis and formation of ECM.
