ACVR2A encodes activin A type II receptor that are dimeric growth and differentiation factors which belong to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily of structurally related signaling proteins. Activins is an autocrine/paracrine regulator in the human placenta (1). ACVR2A is highly expressed in human brain and ovary (2). 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. ACVR2A Protein is ideal for investigators involved in Signaling Proteins, Cellular Proteins, Cancer, and Ser/Thr Kinase research.
Store product at –70°C. For optimal storage, aliquot target into smaller quantities after centrifugation and store at recommended temperature. For most favorable performance, avoid repeated handling and multiple freeze/thaw cycles.
