ACVR1B
ACVR1B Activin receptor type-1B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ACVR1B gene. ACVR1B or ALK-4 acts as a transducer of activin or activin like ligands (e.g., inhibin) signals. Activin binds to either ACVR2A or ACVR2B and then forms a complex with ACVR1B. These go on to recruit the R-SMADs SMAD2 or SMAD3. A...
