Western blot - Anti-Smad3 antibody [EP568Y] (AB40854)

False colour image of Western blot : Anti-Smad3 antibody [EP568Y] staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab40854 was shown to bind specifically to Smad3. A band was observed at 50 kDa in wild-type A549 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in SMAD3 CRISPR-Cas9 edited cell line ab277888 (CRISPR-Cas9 edited cell lysate None). The band observed in the CRISPR-Cas9 edited lysate lane below 50 kDa is likely to represent a truncated form of Smad3. This has not been investigated further and the functional properties of the gene product have not been determined. To generate this image, wild-type and SMAD3 CRISPR-Cas9 edited A549 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

This blot was produced using 4-20% SDS-PAGE containing 15 μg of HT-29 whole cell lysate per lane at 150V for 1hr before being transferred onto a 0.45 μm PVDF membrane at 75V for 1hr. The membrane was then blocked for 1hr using 5% NFDM/TBST, then incubated with ab40854 (1/5000) at room temperature for 1hr. After being washed three times in TBST, the membrane was incubated with Peroxidase conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) (ab97051) at 1/20,000 dilution for 1hr at room temperature. The membrane was washed three times again. Then the signal was developed using the ECL technique. ab40854 was stored at a range of temperatures (+4°C, +22°C, +37°C) for 1 week before being tested in WB. The image shows the band intensity remains relatively constant across all storage temperatures, demonstrating that antibody activity is not affected.

Representative genome browser tracks show CUT&RUN data generated using the CUTANA™ CUT&RUN Kit (EpiCypher 14-1048) with Smad3 antibody (Abcam ab40854, 0.5 µg). 500,000 HeLa cells were used per reaction. IgG, H3K4me3, and H3K27me3 antibodies were included as controls to assess non-specific background, active promoters, and repressed chromatin, respectively. Libraries were prepared using the CUTANA™ CUT&RUN Library Prep Kit (EpiCypher 14-1001). Sequencing was performed with paired-end 50 bp reads, and data were processed on CUTANA™ Cloud (cloud.epicypher.com) by alignment to the hg38 genome.

Shipping conditions update: ambient shipping

This product will be delivered at ambient temperature instead of chilled – this is by design. Extensive stability testing confirmed that our products are suitable for shipment under ambient conditions and maintain expected quality.

Why the change?

It’s part of our commitment to more sustainable packaging solutions, with ambient deliveries using eco-friendly materials such as recyclable cardboard instead of polystyrene.

What you need to know

  • Ambient shipments come clearly marked on the delivery note.
  • No ice will be included in ambient shipments, but mixed orders (ambient and cold-chain items) will still arrive with ice packs to protect temperature-sensitive products.
  • Warranty coverage remains fully valid, aligned with our validated shipping method.
  • Please store the product as per the datasheet instructions upon receipt.

Supplementary information

Smad3 also known as Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 3 is a protein that plays a mechanical role in signal transduction. It acts mainly as a transcription factor and gets activated through phosphorylation. The molecular weight of Smad3 is approximately 48 kDa. It is expressed widely across numerous tissues including the cellular nucleus where it executes its function after activation.
Biological function summary

Smad3 acts as a mediator of signal transduction for the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor-beta) superfamily forming a complex with phosphorylated Smad2. This enables it to regulate transcriptional activity influencing cell proliferation differentiation and apoptosis. Smad3 also participates in various cellular processes by interacting with other co-factors and regulatory proteins that aid in fine-tuning its function.

Pathways

Smad3 plays an important role in the TGF-beta signaling pathway where it works closely with Smad4 to propagate the signal. Upon phosphorylation it forms a complex with co-Smad (Smad4) and moves into the nucleus to influence gene expression. Smad3 is also involved in pathways related to oncogenesis and tissue fibrosis indicating its significant role in cellular regulation and response mechanisms.

Smad3 is associated with fibrotic diseases and cancers particularly in tissues such as the liver and lungs. Altered Smad3 signaling contributes to the pathological process occurring in fibrotic disorders often interacting with Smad4 in these abnormalities. Dysregulated Smad3 expression or mutations can also lead to oncogenic transformations highlighting its critical involvement in disease states.

Target data

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 SMAD3/SMAD4 complex, activates transcription. Also can form a SMAD3/SMAD4/JUN/FOS complex at the AP-1/SMAD site to regulate TGF-beta-mediated transcription. Has an inhibitory effect on wound healing probably by modulating both growth and migration of primary keratinocytes and by altering the TGF-mediated chemotaxis of monocytes. This effect on wound healing appears to be hormone-sensitive. Regulator of chondrogenesis and osteogenesis and inhibits early healing of bone fractures. Positively regulates PDPK1 kinase activity by stimulating its dissociation from the 14-3-3 protein YWHAQ which acts as a negative regulator.
