Members of the Smad family of signal transduction molecules are components of a critical intracellular pathway that transmits TGF-β signals from the cell surface into the nucleus. Three distinct classes of Smads have been defined: the receptor-regulated Smads (R-Smads), which include Smad1, 2, 3, 5 and 8, the common-mediator Smad (co-Smad), Smad4, and the antagonistic or inhibitory Smads (I-Smads), Smad6 and 7. Once in the nucleus, Smads can target a variety of DNA binding proteins to regulate transcriptional responses. Following stimulation by TGF-β, Smad2 and Smad3 become phosphorylated at their carboxyl termini (Ser465 and 467 on Smad2; Ser423 and 425 on Smad3) by TGF-β Receptor I. Phosphorylated Smad 2/3 can complex with Smad4, translocate to the nucleus and regulate gene expression.

~52 kDa observed. Uncharacterized bands at ~170 kDa, ~165 kDa, ~90 kDa and ~52 kDa may be observed in untreated HaCat cell lysate and in some other cell lysates. Uncharacterized bands at ~105 kDa and ~55 kDa may be observed in some cell lysates.
