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
