ACVR2A

From WikiMD's WELLNESSPEDIA

ACVR2A is a human gene that encodes for the protein Activin A receptor type 2A. This protein is a part of the TGF beta receptor superfamily, and it plays a crucial role in various biological processes, including cell growth, differentiation, and apoptosis.

Function[edit]

The ACVR2A gene is involved in the Activin and Inhibin signaling pathways. These pathways are essential for the regulation of a wide range of biological processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, metabolism, homeostasis, immune response, wound healing, and endocrine function.

Clinical significance[edit]

Mutations in the ACVR2A gene have been associated with various diseases, including Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva, a rare and disabling genetic condition characterized by progressive ossification of soft tissues.
