Anti-SMAD7 antibody produced in rabbit

Description

• General description: SMAD7 (mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 7) is a Tbx1 (T-box 1) interacting gene. It is an inhibitor of the TGFβ (transforming growth factor β) /BMP (bone morphogenetic proteins) pathway. It is located on chromosome 18q21.1.
• Immunogen: SMAD family member 7 recombinant protein epitope signature tag (PrEST)
• Application: Anti-SMAD7 has been used in immunohistochemistry.
• Biochem/physiol Actions: SMAD7 (mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 7) is a modulator of TGFβ(transforming growth factor β) signaling in immune cells that are associated to ulcerative colitis and inflammatory bowel syndrome. It plays a major role in the etiology of CRC (colorectal cancer). It even functions as a mediator of the negative feedback loop for both the TGFβ and BMP (bone morphogenetic proteins) signaling pathways. It is essential for the remodelling of pharyngeal artery and the enlargement of great vessel. In mouse, homozygous removal of Smad7 causes primarily fourth-related arch artery defects. Silencing of Smad7 in RCD (refractory coeliac disease) biopsy samples can decrease the expression of interleukin-6 and tumour necrosis factor-α. Polymorphism of this gene is associated with colorectal cancer.
• Features and Benefits: Prestige Antibodies® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
