Anti-SMAD5 Antibody Picoband®

Mother against decapentaplegic homolog 5 also known as SMAD5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SAMD5 gene. It belongs to the SMAD family of proteins, which belong to the TGFbeta superfamily of modulators. The gene was assigned to human chromosome 5q31. Like many other TGFbeta family members SMAD5 is involved in cell signalling and modulates signals of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP's) . It may play a role in the pathway where TGFbeta is an inhibitor of hematopoietic progenitor cells.
