Background
ACVR2B (Activin A Receptor Type 2B) is a transmembrane serine/threonine kinase receptor functioning as a type II receptor for the TGF-β superfamily. It is encoded by the gene located on chromosome 3p22.2 and shares 69% amino acid identity with ACVR2A. Mechanism of Action: ACVR2B serves as a primary activin receptor binding activin A, activin B, inhibin A, myostatin, GDF11, and nodal. Upon ligand binding, it recruits type I receptors (ACVR1B/ALK4, ACVR1/ALK2, or ACVR1C/ALK7) which become phosphorylated and activate downstream SMAD2/3 signaling. Inhibitory SMAD7, recruited via FKBP1A, can prevent SMAD2/3 association with the receptor complex, blocking signal transduction. The receptor also mediates non-SMAD pathways including MAPK and PI3K/AKT signaling.
Protocol
Assay protocol
Principle: The ACVR2A assay is performed using the ADP-GloTM Kinase Assay kit which quantifies the amount of ADP produced by the ACVR2A reaction. The ADP-GloTM Reagent is added to terminate the kinase reaction and to deplete the remaining ATP, and then the Kinase Detection Reagent is added to convert ADP to ATP and to measure the newly synthesized ATP using luciferase/luciferin reaction.
