This recombinant protein control fragment may be used for blocking experiments with the corresponding antibody, PA5-82478. In IHC/ICC and WB experiments, we recommend a 100x molar excess of the protein fragment control based on the concentration and the molecular weight. Pre-incubate the antibody-protein control fragment mixture for 30 min at room temperature.
Signal transduction of TGF-beta superfamily members is regulated by Smad proteins. In particular, Smads influence specific gene transcription by relaying signals from the cell membrane to the nucleus. Smad4 plays an essential role in TGF-beta-induced transcriptional activation wherein phosphorylated receptor-associated Smads associate with Smad4. Furthermore, SMIF (Smad4-intereacting protein) and Smad4 complex with TGF-beta and BMP4. An increase in Smad4 concentration increases the translocation of this complex to the nucleus. SMIF and Smad4 interact directly through a EVH1/WH1 domain on SMIF and a proline-rich activation domain on Smad4. Smad4 is essential to nuclear translocation of SMIF as deletion of the Smad4-interacting domain (located in the N-terminal 100 amino acids) of SMIF eliminates TGF-beta-induced nuclear translocation of SMIF. The human SMIF gene is ubiquitously expressed and encodes a protein with a relative molecular mass of 70 kDa.
