Relevance 

Smad3 is a 50 kDa member of a family of proteins that act as key mediators of TGF beta superfamily signaling in cell proliferation, differentiation and development. The Smad family is divided into three subclasses: receptor regulated Smads, activin/TGF beta receptor regulated (Smad2 and 3) or BMP receptor regulated (Smad 1, 5, and 8); the common partner, (Smad4) that functions via its interaction to the various Smads; and the inhibitory Smads, (Smad6 and 7). Activated Smad3 oligomerizes with Smad4 upon TGF beta stimulation and translocates as a complex into the nucleus, allowing its binding to DNA and transcription factors. Phosphorylation of the two TGF beta dependent serines 423 and 425 in the C terminus of Smad3 is critical for Smad3 transcriptional activity and TGF beta signaling.

ChIP - Smad3 antibody - ChIP Grade (ab28379)

Chromatin was prepared from the nuclear cell lysate of a human myofibroblast cell line according to the X-ChIP protocol; cross-linking with formaldehyde for 10 minutes. ab28379 was diluted 1/16 (RIPA 0.1% SDS) and incubated with the sample for 16 hours at 4°C. ab28379 IP was used as the positive control and rabbit IgG pool IP was used as the negative control. Smad3 expression was enhanced by 2ng/ml TGFbeta 2. The immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified by real time PCR.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence-Smad3 antibody - ChIP Grade(ab28379)

ICC/IF image of ab28379 stained HeLa cells. The cells were 4% PFA fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab28379, 1µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM.
