Full name: activin A receptor, type IC

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: VALIDATED

Also known as: ACTR-IC; ACVRLK7; ALK7; Alk-7; C230097P10

Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP binding activity; BMP receptor binding activity; and activin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of insulin secretion; response to glucose; and response to insulin. Predicted to be located in cell surface and cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of activin receptor complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; adrenal gland; alimentary system; brain; and genitourinary system. Orthologous to human ACVR1C (activin A receptor type 1C).
