Description
Activins are dimeric growth and differentiation factors which belong to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily of structurally related signaling proteins. Activins signal through a heteromeric complex of receptor serine kinases which include at least two type I ( I and IB) and two type II (II and IIB) receptors. These receptors are all transmembrane proteins, composed of a ligand-binding extracellular domain with cysteine-rich region, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain with predicted serine/threonine specificity. Type I receptors are essential for signaling; and type II receptors are required for binding ligands and for expression of type I receptors. Type I and II receptors form a stable complex after ligand binding, resulting in phosphorylation of type I receptors by type II receptors. ACVR1 is an activin A type I receptor which signals a particular transcriptional response in concert with activin type II receptors.

Products Data 

 

Western blot analysis of ACVR1 (arrow) using rabbit polyclonal ACVR1 Antibody (Center N153) . 293 cell lysates (2 ug/lane) either nontransfected (Lane 1) or transiently transfected with the ACVR1 gene (Lane 2) (Origene Technologies).
Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded human cancer tissue reacted with the primary antibody, which was peroxidase-conjugated to the secondary antibody, followed by AEC staining. This data demonstrates the use of this antibody for immunohistochemistry; clinical relevance has not been evaluated. BC = breast carcinoma; HC = hepatocarcinoma.

Specificity
This ACVR1 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide selected from the center region of human ACVR1.

Storage Condition and Buffer
Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is prepared by Saturated Ammonium Sulfate (SAS) precipitation followed by dialysis against PBS.

Alternative Names
ACVR1 antibody, ACTRI antibody, ACVR1A antibody, ACVRLK2 antibody, ALK2 antibody, FOP antibody, SKR1 antibody, TSRI antibody, Activin receptor type-1 antibody, TGF-B superfamily receptor type I antibody
