Summary
SMAD3 is a critical mediator of the TGF-Beta signaling pathway. It is a sequence specific transcriptional activator, physically binds with AP-1 (Acitvator Protein-1) family members like JunB, JunC and JunD and interacts with response elements to mediate transcriptional activation of target genes. It is also involved in TGF-Beta dependent regulation of steroidogenesis.1
