ACVR2B Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

ACVR2B: a tyrosine-kinase like receptor kinase of the STKR family. The holoreceptor receptor is 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. Each is composed of a ligand-binding extracellular domain with cysteine-rich region, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic kinase domain. 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 receptor kinases are apparently constitutively active. The IIB receptor displays a 3- to 4-fold higher affinity for activin A than the II receptor.
