This receptor has a molecular mass of approximately 54 kDa and is expressed in a variety of tissues including the brain heart and reproductive organs. ALK-4 specifically interacts with type II activin receptors to mediate the signal transduction processes that are critical for cell differentiation and growth.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nALK-4 plays an important role in cell differentiation proliferation and apoptosis. It forms a complex with activin type II receptors which is essential for its proper function. This receptor mediates the signaling pathways that regulate these cellular processes having a significant impact on development and tissue homeostasis. The action of ALK-4 is important for the regulation of mesodermal differentiation and the formation of the axial skeleton during embryogenesis.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nALK-4 is part of the TGF-beta signaling pathway and the activin signaling pathway. These pathways are vital for various cellular processes including immune response and tissue repair. In the activin pathway ALK-4 functions along with its related proteins such as ACVR2A and SMAD2\/3 to propagate the signal that induces gene expression changes. This signaling cascade involves phosphorylation events that eventually lead to the regulation of target gene expression in the nucleus.\u003cbr\u003e\nALK-4 has associations with reproductive disorders and cancer. Dysregulation of activin signaling involving ALK-4 can contribute to disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and has implications in tumor progression and metastasis in cancer. The receptor works closely with other proteins like inhibin and follistatin which modulate activin signaling highlighting its role in pathologies related to aberrant cell proliferation and differentiation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46848527270057,"sku":"ab313839","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab313839","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
