Abstract excerpt
Smad4 is a key signal transducer of the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily of growth factors that are critical regulators of embryonic patterning and adult tissue homeostasis. The biological activity of the TGF-beta signaling is tightly controlled at multiple levels, including the abundance of SMAD4 proteins. We previously recovered a novel allele of Smad4 in a gene-based screen in...
