SMAD1 (Mothers Against Decapentaplegic Homolog 1, Mothers Against DPP Homolog 1, MAD Homolog 1, MADH1, SMAD Family Member 1, SMAD 1, hSMAD1, BSP-1, BSP1, JV4-1, JV41, Mad-related Protein 1, MADR1, Transforming Growth Factor-beta-signaling Protein 1) (Biotin)

SMADs are members of the MAD-related family of molecules. MAD-related proteins are a family of intracellular proteins that are essential components in the signaling pathways of the serine/threonine kinase receptors of the transforming growth factor beta superfamily (1). SMADs can be divided into receptor-regulated SMADs (R-SMADs: SMAD1, SMAD2, SMAD5, SMAD8 and SMAD9), common-mediator SMAD (co-SMAD: SMAD4) and inhibitory SMADs (I-SMADs: SMAD6 and SMAD7). SMAD1, SMAD5, SMAD8 and SMAD9 have high degrees of homology and antibodies are available that recognize sequences common to all of them. SMAD8...
