ACVR2A activates SMAD2. 5 / 6
| 4 1

reach
"Activin performs its function through Acvr2a, which is required for binding Activin to cause downstream p-SMAD2 activation, thus initiating Activin signaling."

sparser
"Two subunits of Inhba form the homodimer Activin A, which signals through canonical ALK4-ACVR2 receptor complexes activating the transcription factors SMAD2 and SMAD3."

"(A) Endogenous ActRII signaling via phosphorylation (P) of Smad2 and Smad3."

reach
"In ACVR2A/B dKO parental cells, only ACVR2A , but not ACVR2A , could rescue both pSMAD2 and pSMAD1/5 (Fig 4B)."

reach
"Similarly, in ACVR2A/B dKO HOM1 cells, ACVR2A could restore both pSMAD2 and pSMAD1/5."
Kinase-active ACVR2A activates SMAD2. 1 / 1

"Western blotting revealed higher expression of phosphorylated SMAD2 in wt-ACVR2 transfectants versus controls, suggesting cells deficient in ACVR2 had impaired SMAD signaling."
