ACVR2B

Activin receptor type-2B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ACVR2B gene.[5][6][7] ACVR2B is an activin type 2 receptor.

Function

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. Type II receptors are considered to be constitutively active kinases. This gene encodes activin A type IIB receptor, which displays a 3- to 4-fold higher affinity for the ligand than activin A type II receptor.[7]

Interactions

ACVR2B has been shown to interact with ACVR1B[8][9] and SYNJ2BP.[10]

gollark: Somehow, still no xenowyrm... can I probably trade it for a CB one?
gollark: CB golden wyvern!
gollark: I currently have hatchling *and* egg space, too.
gollark: I can somehow get stupid amounts of random stuff just browsing the AP (a gold) and cave (a leetle tree, CB nebula), and trade for xenowyrms, but never actually catch them.
gollark: Five hundred years' time, yes.
