Identification of novel Smad2 and Smad3 associated proteins in response to TGF‐β1
26 Aug 2008
Abstract excerpt
Transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta1) is an important growth inhibitor of epithelial cells and insensitivity to this cytokine results in uncontrolled cell proliferation and can contribute to tumorigenesis. TGF-beta1 signals through the TGF-beta type I and type II receptors, and activates the Smad pathway via phosphorylation of Smad2 and Smad3. Since little is known about the selective activation of Smad2...
