Abstract excerpt
The human ACVR1 gene encodes a transmembrane protein consisting of 509 amino acids called activin A receptor, type I (ACVR1) or activin receptor-like kinase 2 (ALK2) and has nine coding exons. The ALK2 protein functions as a signaling receptor for ligands of the transforming growth factor-β family. In the human ACVR1 gene, approximately 20 types of heterozygotic mutations in the coding exons have been associated...
