Recombinant Human ALK-1 Protein (Fc Tag)

Product Specifications

Background

Activin A receptor , type II-like 1 (ACVRL1), also known as ALK-1 (activin receptor-like kinase 1), is an endothelial-specific type I receptor of the TGF-beta (transforming growth factor beta) receptor family of ligands. On ligand binding , a heteromeric receptor complex forms consisting of two type II and two type I transmembrane serine/threonine kinases. ACVRL1 protein is expressed in certain blood vessels of kidney , spleen , heart and intestine , serving as an important role during vascular development. Mutations in ACVRL1 gene are associated with hemorrhagic telangiectasia type 2 , also known as Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome 2 and vascular disease.
