Background:

Members of the Smad family of signal transduction molecules are components of a critical intracellular pathway that transmits TGF-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 (1–5). Activated type I receptors associate with specific R-Smads and phosphorylate them on a conserved carboxy-terminal SSXS motif. The phosphorylated R-Smad dissociates from the receptor and forms a heteromeric complex with the co-Smad (Smad4), allowing translocation of the complex to the nucleus. Once in the nucleus, Smads can target a variety of DNA binding proteins to regulate transcriptional responses (6–8). Following stimulation by TGF-, Smad2 and Smad3 become phosphorylated at carboxyl terminal serine residues (Ser465 and 467 on Smad2; Ser423 and 425 on Smad3) by TGF-Receptor I. Phosphorylated Smad 2/3 can complex with Smad4 and translocate to the nucleus to regulate gene expression (9-11).Phospho-Smad3 (Ser423/425) (C25A9) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of Smad3 when phosphorylated at Ser423/425. This antibody does not cross-react with other family members.
