products description :
Description: Rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody for Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 4(SMAD4) detection. Tested with WB, IHC-P in Human, Mouse, Rat. Background: SMAD4(Mothers Against Decapentaplegic Drosophila Homolog of 4), also known as MADH4 or DPC4, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SMAD4 gene. It belongs to the Darfwin family of proteins that modulate members of the TGFbeta protein superfamily. Hahn et al.(1996) identified the SMAD4 gene on chromosome 18q21.1. Howe et al.(1998) identified the SMAD4 gene within a region on 18q21.1 defined by linkage analysis in a kindred with juvenile polyposis syndrome. To test directly the hypothesis that the SMAD4 gene is a tumor suppressor that is critical for transmitting signals from transforming growth factor-beta and related ligands. SMAD4 plays a pivotal role in signal transduction of the transforming growth factor beta superfamily cytokines by mediating transcriptional activation of target genes.

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes a member of the Smad family of signal transduction proteins. Smad proteins are phosphorylated and activated by transmembrane serine-threonine receptor kinases in response to TGF-beta signaling. The product of this gene forms homomeric complexes and heteromeric complexes with other activated Smad proteins, which then accumulate in the nucleus and regulate the transcription of target genes. This protein binds to DNA and recognizes an 8-bp palindromic sequence (GTCTAGAC) called the Smad-binding element (SBE). The Smad proteins are subject to complex regulation by post-translational modifications. Mutations or deletions in this gene have been shown to result in pancreatic cancer, juvenile polyposis syndrome, and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
uniprot summary :
SMAD4: transcription factor that mediates signal transduction by the transforming growth factor superfamily. The common smad (co-smad).
