products description :
Activin isoforms and other members of the TGF beta superfamily exert their biological effects by binding to heteromeric complexes of a type I and a type II serine threonine kinase receptor, both of which are essential for signal transduction. To date, seven type I and five type II receptors, including the two type I and the two type II activin receptors, designated ActR I(A), ActR IB, ActR II(A) and ActR IIB, have been cloned from mammals. Through alternative mRNA splicing, multiple ActR IIB isoforms can also be generated, adding to the complexity of the activin receptor system. Different activin isoforms bind with different high affinities to the various type II isoforms. Type I activin receptors do not bind directly to activin, but will associate with the type II receptor activin complex and initiate signal transduction. Besides the activin isoforms, ActR II will also bind inhibin, BMP 2 and BMP 7 with lower affinities. ActR I can also bind and form signaling complexes with the BMP 2/7 bound BMPR II. Activin type II receptors are highly conserved. Human, mouse and rat type II activin receptors share greater than 98% amino acid sequence homology. Recombinant soluble activin type II receptors bind activin with high affinity, and are potent activin antagonists.

uniprot summary :
ACVR2A: 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.
