Human BMPR1B/ALK6 Protein, ECD (Extracellular Domain), Fc-fusion, Recombinant

Description

The TGFβ (transforming growth factor β) superfamily proteins are pleiotropic cytokines that regulate a diverse range of cellular processes, including proliferation, differentiation, migration, adhesion and death.  The TGFβ superfamily elicits 4 signaling pathways: TGFβ, Bone Morphogenic Protein (BMP), Activin, and Nodal.  Each pathway signals through a heteromeric receptor complex composed of at least two type-I and two type-II transmembrane receptors containing cytoplasmic serine/threonine kinase domains. These receptors are distinguished by the presence of a glycine/serine-rich juxta-membrane domain found only in the type I receptors. The type I receptors are also referred to as ALKs (activin receptor-like kinases). Either type receptor may initially bind ligand, followed by the recruitment of an alternate-type receptor counterpart to form a signal-activating complex. BMPR1B (BMP receptor type IB), also known as ALK6 and CDw293, is a type I receptor for BMPs that are involved in endochondral bone formation and embryogenesis. BMPR1B is expressed in various tissues during embryogenesis but only found in the brain in adult tissues. The extracellular domain of BMPR1B shares little amino acid sequence identity with other TGFBRs, except the cysteine residues are conserved. BMPR1B is involved in pre-cartilaginous condensations. Soluble BMPR1B binds BMP4 and is a potent BMP4 antagonist. Mutations in BMPR1B are associated with primary pulmonary hypertension, acromesomelic chondrodysplasia with genital anomalies (AMDGA) and brachydactyly A2 (BDA2). Reduced BMPR1B expression correlates with a poor prognosis of breast cancer.
