ACVR1C activin A receptor type 1C

Gene ID: 130399, updated on 18-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: ALK7; ACVRLK7

Summary

ACVR1C is a type I receptor for the TGFB (see MIM 190180) family of signaling molecules. Upon ligand binding, type I receptors phosphorylate cytoplasmic SMAD transcription factors, which then translocate to the nucleus and interact directly with DNA or in complex with other transcription factors (Bondestam et al., 2001 [PubMed 12063393]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
