Recombinant Human Activin receptor type-2A (ACVR2A), partial

1. Altered decidual ACVR2A expression impairs the ability of stromal cells to properly decidualise and regulate trophoblast function at the maternalfetal interface, which may result in abnormal placentation that can lead to poor pregnancy outcomes such as pre-eclampsia. PMID: 29203340
2. Results showed no association between genotypes and preeclampsia for polymorphisms rs5186, rs4606 in 3'UTR of genes ACVR2A, AGTR1 and RGS2 in women with preeclampsia PMID: 29593124
3. TGF-beta receptor mediated telomerase inhibition, telomere shortening and breast cancer cell senescence.( PMID: 27696331
4. This locus harbors an evolutionary conserved gene-desert region with non-coding intergenic sequences likely involved in regulation of protein-coding flanking genes ZEB2 and ACVR2A. This region is intensively studied for mutations causing severe developmental/genetic disorders. Our analyses indicate a promising target region for interventions aimed to reduce risks of many major human diseases and mortality. PMID: 27832070
5. Data suggest ALK1 and ACVR2A/ACVR2B, acting as BMP9 co-receptors, rearrange pro-domains of BMP9--pro-domain dimer complex leading to displacement of pro-domains after receptor binding, release of mature non-dimer BPM9, and activation of signaling. PMID: 26677222
6. Activin A inhibited signaling by BMP-6 and BMP-9 by competing for type 2 receptors ACVR2A and ACVR2B. PMID: 26047946
7. Data suggest that an SNP in promoter region of ACVR2A (rs1424954, the pre-eclampsia susceptibility allele) down-regulates 1) expression of ACVR2A in trophoblasts and 2) signal transduction in response to excess activin-A (as seen in pre-eclampsia). PMID: 25659497
8. Adenomyotic tissues express high levels of myostatin, follistatin, and activin type II receptors. PMID: 26086422

10. For ACVR2A SNPs (rs10497025, rs1128919, rs13430086), no statistically significant difference was found between preeclampsia and control groups in terms of genotype and allele frequencies. PMID: 23633461
11. ACVR2A was identified as a subnetwork component in functional association network analysis. PMID: 23263486
12. ACVR2A showed statistically significant differential dose-expression relationship. PMID: 22848350
13. ACVR2A interaction with Nodal and ADMP regulates head development from the 'organizer', a restricted group of cells in the embryo. PMID: 22949641
14. This is the first report on the function of miR-195 in human placental trophoblast cells which reveals an invasion-promoting effect of the small RNA via repressing ActRIIA. PMID: 22723898
15. Activin type IIA receptors are clearly demonstrable throughout the adult human hypothalamus and basal forebrain. PMID: 22296042
16. Exonic selectivity for frameshift mutation within ACVR2 is specifically controlled by individual nucleotides flanking each coding ACVR2 microsatellite. PMID: 22001236
17. Mutation in activin type II receptor is associated with colorectal cancer. PMID: 20197483
18. crystal structure of BMP7 in complex with the extracellular domain (ECD) of the activin type II receptor PMID: 12667445
19. Activin type II receptor gene (ACTRII) is probably involved in both non-microsattelite unstable and microsattelite-unstable colorectal carcinogenesis, but more frequently in the latter subgroup. PMID: 14691305
20. Data indicate that activin A and activin receptors IIA and IIB may be involved in the regulation of germ cell proliferation in the human ovary during the period leading up to primordial follicle formation. PMID: 14738881
21. Mutations highly frequent in microsatellite unstable(MSI-H) colon cancers and cause loss of ACVR2, indicating biallelic gene nactivation. Loss of activin signaling through mutation of ACVR2 may have role in genesis of MSI-H colorectal cancer. PMID: 14988818
22. demonstrates that truncating mutations of the ACVR2 gene result in a significant reduction in activin mediated cell signaling. Inactivation of ACVR2 is a common event in prostate cancer and may play an important role in the development of prostate cancer PMID: 16337854
23. structure of the ternary complex representing the signaling competent complex of BMP-2 bound to the entire extracellular domains of both its type I receptor, BMPR-Ia, & its type II receptor, ActRII, at a resolution of 2.2 angstroms PMID: 16672363
24. Activin is growth suppressive and enhances migration in colon cancer. PMID: 17258738
25. RGMa facilitates the use of ActRIIA by endogenous BMP2 and BMP4 ligands that otherwise prefer signaling via BMPRII and that increased utilization of ActRIIA leads to generation of an enhanced BMP signal PMID: 17472960
26. Inhibin/activin BA subunit, follistatin, and activin receptor proteins and mRNAs are present in the human fetal palate. PMID: 18001154
27. Populations with different ancestors (Iceland/Norway-Australia/New Zealand) demonstrate a common maternal pre-eclampsia susceptibility locus on chromosome 2q22-23, may suggests a general role of this locus, and possibly the ACVR2A gene, in pre-eclampsia. PMID: 18781190
28. The -1 bp frameshift mutation rates of TGFBR2 and ACVR2 microsatellite sequences are dependent upon the human DNA Mismatch PMID: 18941508
29. It remains unclear what role, if any, ACVR2A polymorphisms play in pre-eclampsia risk, at least in these Australian families. PMID: 19126782
30. ActRII signaling is required for prostatic cancer cell and neuroblastoma cell viability, with ActRII mediating cell fate via the regulation of cell adhesion PMID: 19308291
31. The four most frequently mutated genes in colorectal cancers with microsatellite instability were ACVR2 (92%), TAF1B (84%), ASTE1/HT001 (80%) and TGFBR2 (77%). PMID: 19503063
