Target data

Function

Secreted signal that acts globally to regulate anterior/posterior axial patterning during development. May play critical roles in patterning both mesodermal and neural tissues (By similarity). It is required for proper vertebral patterning and orofacial development (PubMed:31215115). Signals through activin receptors type-2, ACVR2A and ACVR2B, and activin receptors type-1, ACVR1B, ACVR1C and TGFBR1 leading to the phosphorylation of SMAD2 and SMAD3 (PubMed:28257634).

General info

Function

Secreted signal that acts globally to regulate anterior/posterior axial patterning during development. May play critical roles in patterning both mesodermal and neural tissues (By similarity). It is required for proper vertebral patterning and orofacial development (PubMed:31215115). Signals through activin receptors type-2, ACVR2A and ACVR2B, and activin receptors type-1, ACVR1B, ACVR1C and TGFBR1 leading to the phosphorylation of SMAD2 and SMAD3 (PubMed:28257634).

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the TGF-beta family.

Post-translational modifications

Synthesized as large precursor molecule that undergoes proteolytic cleavage by furin-like proteases (PubMed:31215115). This produces an inactive form consisting of the mature C-terminal portion non-covalently bound to its cleaved N-terminal propeptide. Activation of the mature form requires additional cleavage of the propeptide by a tolloid-like metalloproteinase.
