TGF-β/SMAD Signaling Pathway Luminex Assay (CAT#: STEM-MB-0330-WXH)

Introduction

Smad (abbreviated from Sma in nematodes and Mad in Drosophila) protein is a signal transduction molecule downstream of TGF-β family receptors. There are at least 9 smad proteins currently found in vertebrates, namely:<br />(a) Receptor-regulated Smads (R-Smads): Smad 1, Smad 2, Smad 3, Smad 5, and Smad 8;<br />(b) Co-regulate Smads: Smad 4 and Smad 10;<br />(C) Inhibitory Smads (I-Smads): Smad 6 and Smad 7.




Principle

The Smad signaling pathway is the main conduction pathway of TGF-B, and its transduction process requires precise regulation of its components. Smads protein is an important signal molecule for TGF-B ligand transduction from the receptor to the nucleus to perform fibrogenic function. It mainly includes: receptor-activated Smad (receptor-activated Smad, R-Smad), such as Smad2 and Smad3; general Type Smad (common Smad, Co-Smad), such as Smad4; inhibitory Smad (inhibitorySmad, I-Smad), such as Smad6 and Smad79-0. In addition, factors that inhibit the TGFB signal transduction pathway include transcriptional co-repressor c-Ski and its related protein SnoN located in the nucleus.
