SMAD Family Member 4 (SMAD4) (AA 1-552) protein (His tag)
Description
SMAD4 is part of the SMAD family of proteins that mediate signal transduction by the TGF-beta/activin/BMP-2/4 cytokine superfamily from receptor Ser/Thr protein kinases at the cell surface to the nucleus. SMAD4 promotes the binding of the SMAD2/SMAD4/FAST-1 complex to DNA and provides the function of activation required for SMAD1 or SMAD2 to stimulate transcription acts as a tumor suppressor. SMAD4 is a target molecule for functional inactivation in cervical cancer. SMAD4 is an important biomarker for malignant transformation atakes part in inducing apoptosis by modulating Bcl-2/Bax balance Synonyms: JIP, DPC4, MADH4, SMAD-4, DPC-4, MADH-4, Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 4, Mothers against DPP homolog 4, SMAD 4, hSMAD4, Deletion target in pancreatic carcinoma 4, SMAD4, SMAD family member 4
