The Rabbit Polyclonal anti-SMAD3 antibody is suitable to detect SMAD3 in samples from Human, Mouse, Rat, Pig, Chicken, Zebrafish (Danio rerio), Cow and Xenopus laevis. It has been validated for WB, IHC (p) and EIA.
This antibody is directed against Smad3 protein. ELISA and western blot show equivalent reactivity against phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated Human Smad3.

Background
Smad3 (also known as Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 3 Mothers against DPP homolog 3, Mad3, hMAD-3, JV15-2 or hSMAD3) is a transcriptional modulator activated by TGF-beta (transforming growth factor) and activin type 1 receptor kinase. These activators exert diverse effects on a wide array of cellular processes. The Smad proteins mediate much of the signaling responses induced by the TGF-beta superfamily. Briefly, activated type I receptor phosphorylates receptor-activated Smads (RSmads) at their c-terminal two extreme serines in the SSXS motif, e.g. Smad2 and Smad3 proteins in the TGF-β pathway, or Smad1, Smad5 or Smad8 in the BMP pathway. Then the phosphorylated R-Smad translocated into nucleus, where they regulate transcription of target genes. Based on microarray and animal model experiments, Smad3 accounts for at least 80 % of all TGF-beta-mediated response.Synonyms: JV15-2, MAD homolog 3, MAD-3, MADH3, Mad3, Mothers against DPP homolog 3, Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 3, SMAD 3, SMAD family member 3, SMAD-3
