Product details:
Although we aim to provide customers with a homozygous clone, feasibility will be dependent on the biology of the protein. Should only heterozygous edits be achieved, you will be notified of the outcome and be asked to confirm whether the cell line is acceptable. All clones will be accompanied with DNA sequencing data, and the mutation description.
We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

Smad1 also known as Mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 1 (MADH1) is a protein encoded by the SMAD1 gene in humans. It has a molecular mass of approximately 53 kDa and functions as a receptor-regulated Smad protein. Smad1 primarily transmits signals from the bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) a group of growth factors and cytokines. Expression of Smad1 occurs in various tissues including the lung heart and kidney. It plays an important role in mediating signaling pathways within different cellular environments.
Biological function summary
Smad1 participates in the transmission of BMP signals from the cell surface to the nucleus ensuring transcriptional regulation of target genes. In the presence of BMPs Smad1 forms complexes with Smad4 upon activation. These Smad complexes then translocate to the nucleus where they regulate gene expression. Smad1 influences cellular responses such as proliferation differentiation and apoptosis. In particular it plays a significant role in bone development and osteogenesis.
Pathways
Smad1 plays an important role within the BMP signaling pathway which is important for early development and tissue homeostasis. Within this pathway BMPs trigger the phosphorylation of Smad1 which then associates with Smad4 to propagate downstream signaling. Another associated pathway includes the TGF-beta signaling pathway where Smads like Smad2 and Smad3 show functional similarities and differences with Smad1. The interactions of Smad1 with related proteins like Smad4 highlight its significant contribution to cellular processes regulated by these pathways.
Smad1 associates with various pathological conditions. For instance aberrant Smad1 signaling has implications in cancer particularly in processes like tumor progression and metastasis. Disruptions in the BMP pathway involving Smad1 and Smad4 can influence the onset and development of disorders such as pulmonary hypertension where inappropriate cell growth and remodeling occur. Understanding Smad1's role in these contexts provides insights into potential therapeutic avenues for treatment and management of these conditions.
