Symbol: ACVR1C
Full name: activin A receptor type 1C
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: ACVRLK7; ALK7
Summary: ACVR1C is a type I receptor for the TGFB (see MIM 190180) family of signaling molecules. Upon ligand binding, type I receptors phosphorylate cytoplasmic SMAD transcription factors, which then translocate to the nucleus and interact directly with DNA or in complex with other transcription factors (Bondestam et al., 2001 [PubMed 12063393]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
