Gene information for ACVR1B (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID91
Official gene symbolACVR1B
Full nameactivin A receptor, type IB
Aliases,ACTRIB,ACVRLK4,ALK4,SKR2,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes an activin A type IB receptor. Activins are dimeric growth and differentiation factors which belong to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily of structurally related signaling proteins. Activins signal through a heteromeric complex of receptor serine kinases which include at least two type I and two type II receptors. This protein is a type I receptor which is essential for signaling. Mutations in this gene are associated with pituitary tumors. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
