SMAD2 (SMAD family member 2) is also called as MADR2 (substrate of the TGFβ receptor). It is located on human chromosome 18q21. This gene belongs to the mothers against Dpp (MAD) related family of proteins. SMAD2 has two highly conserved amino and carboxyl-terminal domains (MH1 and MH2 domains) but has no known structural motifs.
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human Smad2 around the phosphorylation site of Ser250.
Immunogen Range: 216-265
Application
Anti-phospho-Smad2 (pSer250) antibody has been used in immunoblotting.
Biochem/physiol Actions
SMAD2 (SMAD family member 2) plays an important role in TGF-β(transforming growth factor β)/activin signaling pathways. Mutations in SMAD2 (SMAD family member 2) results in arterial aneurysms and dissections. Upregulation of Smad2 blocks the multiplication of gingival epithelial cells. Smad2 positively and negatively controls TGFβ-dependent transcription with the help of forkhead DNA-binding protein FAST2.

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a key event that is involved in the invasion and dissemination of cancer cells. Although typically considered as having tumour-suppressive properties, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β signalling is altered during cancer and has been associated with the
