Summary: 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 transcriptional response in concert with activin type II receptors. Mutations in this gene are associated with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressive. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Study emphasizes about the role of ACVR1 which encoding a receptor for BMP proteins in fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP). Most FOP patients carry the recurrent R206H substitution in the GS domain, whereas a few other mutations are responsible for limited cases. Mutations cause a dysregulation of the downstream BMP-dependent pathway making mutated ACVR1 responsive to a non-canonical ligand, Activin A. [review]

The role of an ALK2 mutation (R258S) in IRIDA development in a patient also bearing compound heterozygous mutations in TMPRSS6 was demonstrated by reconstructing in vitro the proband's genotype, expressing mutants TMPRSS6 and ACVR1 in the presence of hemojuvelin and assessing hepcidin activation. ALK2(R258S) maintained high hepcidin expression in the presence of MT2(I212T).

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
