ACVR1 polyclonal antibody, anti-human, mouse, rat

Background:
Activins are dimeric growth and differentiation factors which belong to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily of structurally related signaling proteins. Activins signal through a heteromeric complex of receptor serine kinases which include at least two type I ( I and IB) and two type II (II and IIB) receptors. These receptors are all transmembrane proteins| composed of a ligand-binding extracellular domain with cysteine-rich region| a transmembrane domain| and a cytoplasmic domain with predicted serine/threonine specificity. Type I receptors are essential for signaling; and type II receptors are required for binding ligands and for expression of type I receptors. Type I and II receptors form a stable complex after ligand binding| resulting in phosphorylation of type I receptors by type II receptors. This gene encodes activin A type I receptor which signals a particular
