ZFYVE9 (SARA, Smad anchor for receptor activation), is a FYVE domain protein that interacts directly with Smad2 and Smad3. SARA functions to recruit Smad2 to the TGFbeta receptor

BUT!!!
the transition of epithelial cells to a mesenchymal/fibroblastic phenotype might include a reduction in the expression of SARA.
TGF-??1 treatment for 3 and 5 days resulted in a reduction in SARA corresponding to the timing of an increase in TGF-??1-induced smooth muscle ??-actin (??SMA) expression.
