Transforming GF-β (TGF-β) detection service (CAT#: STEM-MB-0251-WXH)

The TGF-β family transmits signals mainly through Smad family proteins. According to different functions, Smad proteins are divided into 3 categories. The first category is receptor regulated Smad (R-Smad), including Smad1, Smad2, Smad3, Smad5, and Smad8; the second category is co-mediator Smad (Co-Smad), including Smad4; the third category is inhibitory Smad (I-Smad), including Smad6 and Smad7. TGF-β participates in regulating cell function by binding to TGF-β receptors on the cell surface. TGF-β binds to cell surface TGF-β receptors to phosphorylate the receptor. The phosphorylated receptor recruits and phosphorylates the downstream molecule R-Smads. In this process, the helper protein SARA is required to make R-Smad easily bind to the phosphorylated receptor. When the SSXS motif at the C-terminus of the R-Smad protein is phosphorylated, it is dissociated from the receptor complex, forms a heterodimer complex with Co-Smad. The complex is transferred into the nucleus, and regulates the target gene with transcription factors.
