Activin receptor

An Activin receptor is a receptor which binds activin.

Activin types I and II receptor domain
Identifiers
SymbolActivin_recp
PfamPF01064
InterProIPR000472
PROSITEPDOC00223
SCOPe1tbi / SUPFAM
Membranome1216

Types include:

  • Activin type 1 receptors
  • Activin type 2 receptors

These proteins are receptor-type kinases of Ser/Thr type, which have a single transmembrane domain and a specific hydrophilic Cys-rich ligand-binding domain.[1][2][3]

Human proteins containing this domain

ACVR1; ACVR1B; ACVR1C; ACVR2A; ACVR2B; ACVRL1; BMPR1A; BMPR1B; BMPR2; TGFBR1;
