Background of SMAD4

SMAD4 (Mothers Against Decapentaplegic Drosophila Homolog of 4), also known as MADH4 or DPC4, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SMAD4 gene. It belongs to the Darfwin family of proteins that modulate members of the TGFβ protein superfamily. Hahn et al. (1996) identified the SMAD4 gene on chromosome 18q21.1. Howe et al. (1998) identified the SMAD4 gene within a region on 18q21.1 defined by linkage analysis in kindred with juvenile polyposis syndrome. To test directly the hypothesis that the SMAD4 gene is a tumor suppressor that is critical for transmitting signals from transforming growth factor-beta and related ligands. SMAD4 plays a pivotal role in signal transduction of the transforming growth factor beta superfamily cytokines by mediating transcriptional activation of target genes.

Antibody Validation

Question

Would PB9397 anti-Smad4 antibody work on parafin embedded sections? If so, which fixation method do you recommend we use (PFA, paraformaldehyde, other)?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2020-05-06

Answer

You can see on the product datasheet, PB9397 anti-Smad4 antibody as been tested on WB. It is best to use PFA for fixation because it has better tissue penetration ability. PFA needs to be prepared fresh before use. Long term stored PFA turns into formalin, as the PFA molecules congregate and become formalin.

Question

We have seen staining in rat fetal brain. Are there any suggestions? Is anti-Smad4 antibody supposed to stain fetal brain positively?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2019-11-14

Answer

From what I have seen in literature fetal brain does express SMAD4. From what I have seen in Uniprot.org, SMAD4 is expressed in kidney, fetal brain, placenta, muscle, liver, among other tissues. Regarding which tissues have SMAD4 expression, here are a few articles citing expression in various tissues:
Fetal brain, Pubmed ID: 8553070
Liver, Pubmed ID: 24275569
Muscle, Pubmed ID: 15489334

Question

Can you help my question with product PB9397, anti-Smad4 antibody. I was wondering if it would be possible to conjugate this antibody with biotin. I would need it to be without BSA or sodium azide. I am planning on using a buffer exchange of sodium azide with PBS only. Would there be problems for me to conjugate the antibody and store it in -20 degrees in small aliquots?

Verified Customer

Verified customer

Asked: 2019-05-29

Answer

It is not recommended storing this antibody with PBS buffer only in -20 degrees. If you want to store it in -20 degrees it is best to add some cryoprotectant like glycerol. If you want carrier free PB9397 anti-Smad4 antibody, we can provide it to you in a special formula with trehalose and/or glycerol. These molecules will not interfere with conjugation chemistry and provide a good level of protection for the antibody from degradation. Please be sure to specify this in your purchase order.
