General description

Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 4 (SMAD4) belongs to the common-mediator SMAD (co-SMAD) SAMD sub-family. It comprises Mad homology 1 (MH1) and nuclear localisation signal (NLS) in the N-terminus. The C-terminal region has the Mad homology 1 (MH2). SMAD4 also possesses leucine-rich nuclear export signal (NES) and an unique Smad4 activation domain (SAD). SMAD4 gene is mapped to human chromosome 18q21.2.

Specificity

Anti-SMAD4 recognizes human SMAD4.

Immunogen

A peptide corresponding to an internal region of human SMAD4, conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence is identical in mouse, rat, bovine, dog, pig and bovine.

Application

Anti-SMAD4 antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blotting.[1]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog (SMADs), in general, mediate transmission of signals from the transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ) to the nucleus, and thus regulate multiple cellular processes, such as cell proliferation, apoptosis, and differentiation. The tumor suppressor mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 4 (SMAD4), also named DPC4, is the common signaling effector in the TGFβ superfamily. Phosphorylated R-SMADs interact with SMAD4, and the complex translocates into the nucleus to regulate gene transcription. Mutations or deletions in the SMAD4 gene have been shown to result in pancreatic cancer, juvenile polyposis syndrome, and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia syndrome. A missense mutation in the Mad homology 2 (MH2) SMAD4 gene is implicated in Myhre syndrome.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phos­phate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Storage and Stability

For continuous use, store at 2-8 °C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing, or storage in “frost-free” freezers,is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilutions should be discarded if not used within 12 hours.

Smad proteins transduce signals from transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily ligands that regulate cell proliferation, differentiation and death through activation of receptor serine/threonine kinases. Phosphorylation of receptor-activated Smads (R-Smads) leads to formation of complexes with the common mediator Smad (Co-Smad)
