Smad proteins，the mammalian homologs of the Drosophila Mothers against dpp (Mad)，have been implicated as downstream effectors of TGFB/BMP signaling. Smad1，Smad5，and Smad8 are effectors of BMP2 and BMP4 function while Smad2 and Smad3 are involved in TGF-B and activin-mediated growth modulation. Smad4 has been shown to mediate all of the above activities throμgh interaction with various Smad family members. Smad6 and Smad7 regulate the response to activin/TGFB signaling by interfering with TGFB-mediated phosphorylation of other Smad family members.
