SMADs are intracellular proteins that transduce extracellular signals from transforming growth factor beta ligands to the nucleus where they activate downstream gene transcription. The SMADs, which form a trimer of two receptor-regulated SMADs and one co-SMAD, act as transcription factors that regulate the expression of certain genes. There are three classes of SMADs, SMAD1 belongs to the receptor-regulated class (R-SMAD) which includes SMAD2, SMAD3, SMAD5 and SMAD8/9. [Wiki]
