		Technical Data
S1014-54D1	SMAD4 (Mothers Against Decapentaplegic Homolog 4, MAD Homolog 4, Mothers Against DPP Homolog 4, Deletion Target in Pancreatic Carcinoma 4, SMAD Family Member 4, SMAD 4, hSMAD4, DPC4, MADH4)

Description:
Smad proteins, the mammalian homologs of the Drosophila Mothers against dpp (Mad), have been implicated as downstream effectors of TGFb/BMP signaling. Smad1, Smad5, and Smad8 are effectors of BMP2 and BMP4 function while Smad2 and Smad3 are involved in TGF-b and activin-mediated growth modulation. Smad4 has been shown to mediate all of the above activities through interaction with various Smad family members. Smad6 and Smad7 regulate the response to activin/TGFb signaling by interfering with TGFb-mediated phosphorylation of other Smad family members.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 0.5-4ug/ml
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
