Members of the Smad family of cell signaling molecules are components of a critical intracellular pathway that transmit TGF-beta signals from the cell surface into the nucleus.
There are three distinct classes of Smads: the receptor-regulated Smads (R-Smads), the common-mediator Smad (co-Smad), and the antagonistic or inhibitory Smads.
Following stimulation by TGF-beta, Smad2 and Smad3 become phosphorylated at their C-terminal (Ser465 and 467 on Smad2; Ser423 and 425 on Smad3) by TGF-beta Receptor I.
Phosphorylated Smad 2/3 can complex with Smad4, translocate to the nucleus and regulate gene expression.
