|---|---|
| Function | Serine/threonine protein kinase which forms a receptor complex on ligand binding. The receptor complex consists of 2 type II and 2 type I transmembrane serine/threonine kinases. Type II receptors phosphorylate and activate type I receptors which autophosphorylate, then bind and activate SMAD transcriptional regulators, SMAD2 and SMAD3. Receptor for activin AB, activin B, activin E and NODAL. Upon NODAL binding, activation results in increased apoptosis and reduced proliferation through suppression of AKT signaling and the activation of Smad2-dependent signaling pathway in pancreatic beta-cells, trophoblasts, epithelial or neuronal cells (PubMed:15531507, PubMed:15150278). Acts as a positive regulator for macrophage activation partially through down-regulation of PPARG expression (By similarity). |
| Cellular Location | Membrane; Single- pass type I membrane protein |
| Tissue Location | Present in pancreas, heart, colon, small intestine, ovary and the hippocampus, medulla oblongata and putamen of the brain Isoform 1, isoform 2, isoform 3 and isoform 4 are all expressed in the placenta throughout pregnancy. |
| Volume | 50 µl |

Background
Serine/threonine protein kinase which forms a receptor complex on ligand binding. The receptor complex consisting of 2 type II and 2 type I transmembrane serine/threonine kinases. Type II receptors phosphorylate and activate type I receptors which autophosphorylate, then bind and activate SMAD transcriptional regulators, SMAD2 and SMAD3. Receptor for activin AB, activin B and NODAL. Plays a role in cell differentiation, growth arrest and apoptosis.

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
