The pleiotropic protein known as transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-) is a member of a superfamily that controls several cellular processes, including growth, development, and differentiation. The Smad proteins, which are the intracellular TGF-beta signaling effectors, are activated by receptors and move into the nucleus where they control transcription. Although this pathway is fundamentally straightforward, cooperation with sequence-specific transcription factors, combinatorial interactions in the heteromeric receptor and Smad complexes, receptor-interacting and Smad-interacting proteins, and other factors enable significant versatility and diversity of TGF-beta family responses. Smad activation and function are further regulated by other signaling pathways.
Additionally, TGF-beta receptors activate Smad-independent pathways that enable Smad-independent TGF-beta responses in addition to regulating Smad signaling. Abnormal TGF- signaling has been linked to a number of illnesses, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and fibrosis. Consequently, it is acknowledged that the TGF-signaling pathway is a potential drug target.
