Tumor Suppressor Smad4 Is a Transforming Growth Factor β-Inducible DNA Binding Protein
1 Dec 1997
Abstract excerpt
Members of the Smad family of proteins are thought to play important roles in transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta)-mediated signal transduction. In response to TGF-beta, specific Smads become inducibly phosphorylated, form heteromers with Smad4, and undergo nuclear accumulation. In addition, overexpression of specific Smad combinations can mimic the transcriptional effect of TGF-beta on both the plasminogen...
