There is 1 publication for this product available. The Rabbit Polyclonal anti-SMAD2 antibody is suitable to detect SMAD2 in samples from Human, Mouse and Rat. It has been validated for WB.
The antibody detects endogenous level of Smad2 only when phosphorylated at threonine 220.
Purification
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography usingepitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide was removedby chromatography using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site.
Immunogen
Peptide sequence around phosphorylation site of pThr220 (P-E-T (p) -P-P) derived from Human Smad2. Antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic phosphopeptide and KLH conjugates.
Phosphate buffered saline (without Mg2+ and Ca2+), pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl, 0.02 % sodium azide and 50 % glycerol.

Background
Transcriptional modulator activated by TGF-beta and activin type 1 receptor kinase. SMAD2 is a receptor-regulated SMAD (R-SMAD). May act as a tumor suppressor in colorectal carcinoma.
