Participation of Smad2, Smad3, and Smad4 in Transforming Growth Factor β (TGF-β)-induced Activation of Smad7
1 Sept 2000
Abstract excerpt
Smad7 has recently been identified as a player that antagonizes transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) signals by acting downstream of TGF-beta receptors. TGF-beta rapidly induces expression of Smad7 mRNA in a variety of cell types, suggesting participation in a negative feedback loop to control TGF-beta responses. We have previously described the genomic locus of rat Smad7 including the promoter region. Here...
