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. ACVR2B (Activin receptor type-2B), also known as ACTR-IIB, is a type-II receptors for Activin  and Myostatin. Ligands such as Activin and Myostatin bind to ACVR2B, which then associates with a type I receptor to initiate signal transduction. Human, mouse and rat ACVRIIB share greater than 98% amino acid sequence homology. Recombinant soluble ACVRIIB bind Activin with high affinity, and are potent Activin antagonists. Myostatin, a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth, binds to ACVR2B effectively, and to a lesser extent, to ACVR2A. Haplotype structure at the ACVR2B gene locus may contribute to interindividual variation in skeletal muscle mass and strength. A heterozygous mutation in ACVR2B is a cause of left-right axis malformation, visceral heterotaxy-4 (HTX4).
