CD69 is a TGF-β/1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 target gene in monocytes [PDF]
, 2013 CD69 is a transmembrane lectin that can be expressed on most hematopoietic cells. In monocytes, it has been functionally linked to the 5-lipoxygenase pathway in which the leukotrienes, a class of highly potent inflammatory mediators, are produced ...

Is NO the Answer? The Nitric Oxide Pathway Can Support Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2 Mediated Signaling [PDF]
, 2019 The growth factor bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) plays an important role in bone development and repair. Despite the positive effects of BMP2 in fracture healing, its use is associated with negative side effects and poor cost effectiveness, partly ...

Unveiling the dimer/monomer propensities of Smad MH1-DNA complexes
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2021 Smad transcription factors are the main downstream effectors of the Transforming growth factor β superfamily (TGFβ) signalling network. The DNA complexes determined here by X-ray crystallography for the Bone Morphogenetic Proteins (BMP) activated Smad5 ...

Smad proteins and transforming growth factor-β signaling [PDF]
Kidney International, 2000 It is now generally accepted that transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) has an important role in the pathogenesis of both acute and chronic forms of renal disease. Although TGF-beta's potent fibrogenic activity is considered a major factor in chronic progression of renal disease, this cytokine participates in the control of several fundamental ...

Expression of Smad proteins in human colorectal cancer [PDF]
International Journal of Cancer, 1999 Escape from transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta)-induced inhibition of proliferation has been observed in many tumor cells and may contribute to loss of growth control. Smad proteins have been identified as major components in the intracellular signaling of TGF-beta family members.
