Supplementary information

Activin Receptor Type IIA also known as ACVR2A or ACVR2 is an important component in the activin signaling pathway. This receptor is a serine/threonine kinase that binds to activins and other ligands initiating various cellular responses. The ACVR2A protein has a known mass of about 59 kDa. This receptor is widely expressed in human tissues including the brain testes and ovaries reflecting its diverse functional roles in the body.
Biological function summary

This receptor plays important roles in cellular growth differentiation and apoptosis. ACVR2A partakes in forming signaling complexes by pairing with type I receptors to propagate downstream signals upon ligand binding. This interaction activates SMAD proteins transmitting signals into the nucleus to affect gene expression patterns pivotal for development and homeostasis.

Pathways

ACVR2A significantly influences the TGF-beta signaling pathway. It works alongside other proteins like SMAD2 and SMAD3 orchestrating processes that regulate cellular proliferation and differentiation. This receptor also contributes to the activin pathway impacting tools in embryonic development and immune responses through its interactions with related proteins.

ACVR2A has notable associations with cancer and muscle wasting conditions such as cachexia. Experts study its connection with the myostatin protein where its signaling influences muscle growth and degeneration. Alterations in ACVR2A's function or expression can contribute to cancer progression and the muscle wasting commonly observed in chronic illness patients making it a target of interest for therapeutic interventions.

Target data

On ligand binding, forms a receptor complex consisting of two type II and two type I transmembrane serine/threonine kinases. Type II receptors phosphorylate and activate type I receptors which autophosphorylate, then bind and activate SMAD transcriptional regulators. Receptor for activin A, activin B and inhibin A (PubMed : 17911401, PubMed : 10652306). Mediates induction of adipogenesis by GDF6 (By similarity).
