Mothers Against Decapentaplegic Homolog 2, Recombinant, Human, aa2-467, His-SUMO-tag (SMAD2)

Receptor-regulated SMAD (R-SMAD) that is an intracellular signal transducer and transcriptional modulator activated by TGF-beta (transforming growth factor) and activin type 1 receptor kinases. Binds the TRE element in the promoter region of many genes that are regulated by TGF-beta and, on formation of the SMAD2/SMAD4 complex, activates transcription. May act as a tumor suppressor in colorectal carcinoma. Positively regulates PDPK1 kinase activity by stimulating its dissociation from the 14-3-3 protein YWHAQ which acts as a negative regulator. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa2-467 from human Mothers Against Decapentaplegic Homolog 2, fused to His-SUMO-tag at N-terminal, expressed in E. coli.
