Name :
Human ACVR2A Protein, ECD (Extracellular Domain), Fc-fusion, Biotinylated, Recombinant

Description :
The TGFβ (transforming growth factor β) superfamily proteins are pleiotropic cytokines that regulate a diverse range of cellular processes, including proliferation, differentiation, migration, adhesion and death. The TGFβ superfamily elicits 4 signaling pathways: TGFβ, Bone Morphogenic Protein (BMP), Activin, and Nodal. Each pathway signals through a heteromeric receptor complex composed of at least two type-I and two type-II transmembrane receptors containing cytoplasmic serine/threonine kinase domains. These receptors are distinguished by the presence of a glycine/serine-rich juxta-membrane domain found only in the type I receptors. Either type receptor may initially bind ligand, followed by the recruitment of an alternate-type receptor counterpart to form a signal-activating complex. ACVR2A (Activin receptor type-2A), also known as ACVR2 and ACTRIIA, is a type II receptors for Activins and Inhibins as well as several other members of the TGFβ superfamily proteins. Following the binding to dimeric Activin ligands, ACVRIIA then associates with a type I receptor to initiate signal transduction. Human, mouse and rat ACVRIIA share greater than 98% amino acid sequence homology. Recombinant soluble ACVRIIA bind activin with high affinity, and are potent activin antagonists. ACVR2A may function as a tumor suppressor that is frequently mutated in microsatellite-unstable colon cancers. Inactivation of ACVR2A is also a common event in prostate cancer cells. ACVR2A may be associated with susceptibility to preeclampsia, a pregnancy-related disease which can result in maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality.
