Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of human SMAD1/SMAD5, identical to the related mouse and rat sequences.
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 52 kDa, 60 kDa; calculated MW: nan
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
SMAD family member 1/5. Functional note: Transcriptional modulator activated by BMP (bone morphogenetic proteins) type 1 receptor kinase. SMAD1 is a receptor-regulated SMAD (R-SMAD). SMAD1/OAZ1/PSMB4 complex mediates the degradation of the CREBBP/EP300 repressor SNIP1. May act synergistically with SMAD4 and YY1 in bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-mediated cardiac-specific gene expression. Reported localization: Cytoplasm. Expression/tissue context: Ubiquitous. Highest expression seen in the heart and skeletal muscle.
Research relevance and current trends
- Cancer: Researchers commonly examine how SMAD1 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Cancer Metabolism: Researchers commonly examine how SMAD1 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling: Researchers commonly examine how SMAD1 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative SMAD1 levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Isoforms and PTMs: Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.
- Controls: Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD/KO samples when available.
Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
