01

Overview

Activin receptor type 2A (ActRIIA) is a transmembrane serine/threonine kinase receptor that belongs to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily. It binds activins and other ligands, initiating downstream signaling cascades involved in cell growth, differentiation, homeostasis, and apoptosis. ActRIIA plays a crucial role in bone biology and is implicated in various diseases, making it a potential therapeutic target.
