Background
SMAD proteins transmit signals from transmembrane serine/threonine kinase receptors to the nucleus. Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta stimulation leads to phosphorylation and activation of Smad2 and Smad3, which form complexes with Smad4 that accumulate in the nucleus and regulate transcription of target genes. Smad2 and Smad3 share highly homology. SMAD2/SMAD3 signal transduction appeared to be important in the regulation of muscle-specific genes. SMAD proteins transmit signals from transmembrane serine/threonine kinase receptors to the nucleus. Smad2 is a 58 kDa member of a family of proteins involved in cell proliferation, differentiation and development.Smad3 is a 50 kDa member of a family of proteins that act as key mediators of TGF beta superfamily signaling in cell proliferation, differentiation and development.Synonyms: JV18-1, MAD homolog 2, MADH2, MADR2, Mad-related protein 2, Mothers against DPP homolog 2, Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 2, SMAD 2, SMAD family member 2, SMAD-2
