Anti-SMAD3 pS423pS425 antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a dual phosphorylated synthetic peptide corresponding to a c-terminal region with Serine 423 and Serine 425 of human SMAD3 protein.
This affinity-purified antibody is directed against the phosphorylated form of human Smad3 protein at the pS423 and pS425 residues. The product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity purification. Antiserum was first purified against the phosphorylated form of the immunizing peptide. The resultant affinity purified antibody was then cross adsorbed against the non-phosphorylated form of the immunizing peptide. Reactivity occurs against human Smad3 pS423 and pS425 protein and the antibody is specific for the phosphorylated form of the protein. Reactivity with non-phosphorylated human Smad3 is minimal by ELISA and western blot. Expect reactivity against phosphorylated Smad1 and Smad5. Negligible reactivity is seen against other phosphorylated Smad family members. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross reactivity with Smad3 from human, Xenopus laevis, Xenopus tropicalis, zebrafish, rat, mouse, swine, bovine and chicken based on 100% sequence homology with the immunogen. Reactivity against homologues from other sources is not known.
This affinity purified antibody has been tested for use in ELISA, immunohistochemistry, and western blot. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band approximately 48 kDa in size corresponding to phosphorylated Smad3 protein by western blotting in the appropriate stimulated tissue or cell lysate or extract. Less than 0.2% reactivity is observed against the non-phosphorylated form of the immunizing peptide. This antibody is phospho specific for dual phosphorylated pS423 and pS425 of Smad3. Stimulation with 2 ng/ml TGF-beta for 1 hour is suggested.

This antibody is designed, produced, and validated as part of a collaboration between Rockland and the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and is suitable for Cancer, Immunology and Nuclear Signaling research. Smad3 (also known as Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 3 Mothers against DPP homolog 3, Mad3, hMAD-3, JV15-2 or hSMAD3) is a transcriptional modulator activated by TGF-beta (transforming growth factor) and activin type 1 receptor kinase. These activators exert diverse effects on a wide array of cellular processes. The Smad proteins mediate much of the signaling responses induced by the TGF-b superfamily. Briefly, activated type I receptor phosphorylates receptor-activated Smads (R-Smads) at their c-terminal two extreme serines in the SSXS motif, e.g. Smad2 and Smad3 proteins in the TGF-b pathway, or Smad1, Smad5 or Smad8 in the BMP pathway. Then the phosphorylated R-Smad translocated into nucleus, where they regulate transcription of target genes. Based on microarray and animal model experiments, Smad3 accounts for at least 80% of all TGF-b-mediated response.
