Short Decsription
This product is a ready-to-use IHC kit for staining of SMAD2. The kit provides all reagents, from antigen retrieval to cover slip mounting, that require little to no diluting or handling prior to use. Simply apply the reagents to your sample slide according to the protocol and you're steps away from obtaining high-quality IHC data.
Description
SMAD2, also named as MADH2 and MADR2, belongs to the dwarfin/SMAD family, contains 1 MH1 (MAD homology 1) domain and 1 MH2 (MAD homology 2) domain. SMAD2 is a receptor-regulated SMAD(R-SMAD) that is an intracellular signal transducer and transcriptional modulator activated by TGF-beta and activin type 1 receptor kinases. This protein may act as a tumor suppressor in colorectal carcinoma. It is phosphorylated on one or several of Thr-220, Ser-245, Ser-250, and Ser-255. In response to TGF-beta, It is phosphorylated on Ser-465/467 by TGF-beta and activin type 1 receptor kinases, and then able to interact with SMURF2, recruiting other proteins, such as SNON, for degradation. In response to decorin, the naturally occurring inhibitor of TGF-beta signaling, it is phosphorylated on Ser-240 by CaMK2. It is phosphorylated by MAPK3 upon EGF stimulation; which increases transcriptional activity and stability, and is blocked by calmodulin. In response to TGF-beta, it is ubiquitinated by NEDD4L, which promotes its degradation. In response to TGF-beta signaling, it is acetylated on Lys-19 by coactivators, which increases transcriptional activity.
