Description
Type I receptor for TGF-beta family ligands BMP9/GDF2 and BMP10 and important regulator of normal blood vessel development. On ligand binding, forms a receptor complex consisting of two type II and two type I transmembrane serine/threonine kinases. Type II receptors phosphorylate and activate type I receptors which autophosphorylate, then bind and activate SMAD transcriptional regulators. May bind activin as well.

Expression Plasmid/cDNA
A synthetic DNA sequence encoding the rat ACVRL1 (NP_071886.1) extracellular domain (Met 1-Ala 118) was fused with the C-terminal polyhistidine-tagged Fc region of human IgG1 at the C-terminus.

Molecular weight
The secreted recombinant rat ACVRL1/Fc is a disulfide-linked homodimer after removal of the signal peptide. The reduced monomer comprises 343 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 38.7 kDa. As a result of glycosylation, it migrates as an approximately 50-55 kDa band in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.

Activity
Measured by its ability to inhibit BMP9 induced alkaline phosphatase production by MC3T3E1 mouse chondrogenic cells. David, L. et al. (2007) Blood 109:1953.
The ED50 for this effect is typically 40-200 ng/mL in the presence of 2 ng/mL of recombiant human BMP9. -
