Function

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.

Activity summary

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.

Associated diseases and disorders

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.
