Physical State: Liquid (sterile filtered)
Purity and Specificity: Recombinant full-length human SMAD5 was expressed in E. coli cells using an N-Terminal Glutathione-S-Transferase fusion protein. The purity was determined to be >85% by densitometry.
Background: SMAD5 is a member of the SMAD family and mediates signaling by the transforming growth factor-beta (TGFβ) superfamily and related ligands (1). SMAD5 plays a critical role in the signaling pathway by which TGFβ inhibits the proliferation of human hematopoietic progenitor cells. SMAD5 is up-regulated in gastric epithelial cells during the infection of the pathogen Helicobacter pylori and it mediates apoptosis of gastric epithelial cells induced by H. pylori infection (2). In mature human B cells, bone morphogenetic protein 6 (BMP-6) inhibits cell growth and rapidly induces phosphorylation of SMADs 5 and 8. SMAD5 Protein is ideal for investigators involved in Signaling Proteins, Transcription Proteins, AKT/PKB Pathway, Angiogenesis, Cancer, Cell Cycle, Cellular Stress, ERK/MAPK Pathway, Inflammation, JAK/STAT Pathway, JNK/SAPK Pathway, NfkB Pathway, and WNT Signaling research.
