Abstract excerpt
Mutations in activin receptor-like kinase 2 (ALK2) can cause the pathological osteogenic signaling seen in some patients with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva and other conditions such as diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. Here, we report that intracellular domain of wild-type ALK2 readily dimerizes in response to BMP7 binding to drive osteogenic signaling. This osteogenic signaling is pathologically...
