Roles of Smad3 in TGF-beta signaling during carcinogenesis.
Critical reviews in eukaryotic gene expression - 1 Jan 2007
Millet Caroline, Zhang Ying E
Abstract excerpt
Signaling of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) is mediated through a heteromeric complex of two types of transmembrane receptors and downstream intracellular proteins known as Smads. Alterations of TGF-beta signaling underlie various forms of human cancer and developmental diseases. Human genetic studies have revealed both point mutations and deletions of Smad2 or Smad4 in several types of cancers....
