Background:
SMAD3, a receptor regulated SMAD (R-SMAD) is a transcriptional modulator activated by TGF-beta (transforming growth factor) and activin type 1 receptor kinase. SMAD3 is estimated to account for at least 80% of all TGF-beta-mediated response. Activated type I receptor phosphorylates receptor-activated SMADS (RSMADS) at their C-terminal two extreme serines in the SSXS motif. The phosphorylated R-SMAD translocates into the nucleus, where it regulates transcription of target genes. SMAD3 signal transduction appears to be important in the regulation of muscle-specific genes. Loss of SMAD3 is a feature of pediatric T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia, while upregulation of SMAD3 may be responsible for TGFB hyperresponsiveness observed in scleroderma.

Application Notes:
The suggested dilution is:
ELISA1:1,000
Dot Blot1:500
Western blotting1:100~500
Format:
Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is first purified by protein G affinity chromatography. Then, the antibody fraction is peptide affinity purified in a 2-step procedure with control and phosphorylated peptides. The phospho-specific antibody is eluted with high and low pH buffers and neutralized immediately, followed by dialysis against PBS.
Storage:
Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C.
Precautions:
This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.
