Anti-ALK7 Antibody

Descrição detalhada : ALK7 (ACVR1C activin A receptor, type IC; ACVRLK4) is a transmembrane type IC receptor serine kinase for activin or activin-like ligands. Activins, are dimeric factors that belong to the TGF-superfamily of signaling proteins. Activins signal through the hetrodimeric complex that includes two type I (I and IB) and two type II (II and IIB) receptors. The type I receptors (i.e. ALK7) contains a Ser/Thr kinase domain in its cytoplasmic domain that is essential for signaling, while the type II are receptors are essential for ligand binding (Harrison, 2004 & Gray, 2000). Receptor activation involves ligand binding to the promiscuous type II receptor that is known to bind to many ligands. This leads to the recruitment of ALK7 and the formation of a stable heterodimer that results in the phosphorylation and activation of ALK7.
