Description

General description

SMAD4 is a member of the Mothers Against Dpp (MAD)-related family of proteins. SMAD4 is functionally distinct among the SMAD family, and is required for the assembly and transcriptional activation of diverse, SMAD-DNA complexes. SMAD4 appears to be not regulated by phosphorylation, but acts as a common mediator of TGF-β, activin, and bone morphogenetic protein signaling responses. SMAD4 is frequently inactivated in pancreatic, biliary and colorectal tumors.

Specificity

This antibody recognizes Smad4 at the SAD region.

Immunogen

Epitope: SAD region

GST-tagged recombinant protein corresponding to human Smad4 at the SAD region.

Application

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: 1:500 dilution from a representative lot detected Smad4 in NIH/3T3, HeLa, and A431 cells.
