Activin-A Receptor Type-II-Like-1 Protein Definition

Activin A receptor, type II-like 1 (also called activin receptor-like kinase 1) is a type I cell-surface receptor for the TGF-beta superfamily of ligands. It shares with other type I receptors a high degree of similarity in serine-threonine kinase subdomains, a glycine- and serine-rich region (called the GS domain) preceding the kinase domain, and a short C-terminal tail. The ACVRL1 gene encodes a protein that shares similar domain structures with 3 other closely related ALK proteins (ALK2, ALK3, and ALK4) that together form a subfamily of receptor serine/threonine kinases. ACVRL1 is most highly expressed in human placenta and lung. ACVRL1 deficiency causes hemorrhagic telangiectasia type 2 (HHT2) also known as Rendu-Osler-Weber syndrome 2 (ORW2).
