Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables several functions, including PDZ domain binding activity; activin binding activity; and transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in BMP signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including Sertoli cell proliferation; copulation; and regionalization. Located in cell surface. Is active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; gonad; gut; and sensory organ. Used to study Weissenbacher-Zweymuller syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Lynch syndrome and colon cancer. Orthologous to human ACVR2A (activin A receptor type 2A).
