It can promote TGF-beta signalling by binding directly to the growth factor, promoting its interaction with the TGF-beta receptor; by triggering intracellular signalling on binding the TrkA receptor, which leads to the transcriptional repression of Smad7, an inhibitor of the TGF-beta signalling pathway; and by binding to BMP-7 whose own signalling pathway opposing TGF-beta is inhibited, leading to enhanced TGF-beta signalling.

Although overexpression of renal Smad7 had no effect on levels of blood glucose, it significantly attenuated the development of microalbuminuria, TGF-?/Smad3-mediated renal fibrosis such as collagen I and IV and fibronectin accumulation and NF-?B/p65-driven renal inflammation including IL-1?, TNF-?, MCP-1, and ICAM-1 expression and macrophage infiltration in diabetic rats.
