Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION 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. Receptor for activin A, activin B and inhibin A (PubMed:17911401, PubMed:10652306). Mediates induction of adipogenesis by GDF6 (By similarity).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY L-threonyl-[receptor-protein] + ATP = O-phospho-L-threonyl-[receptor-protein] + ADP + H(+)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY L-seryl-[receptor-protein] + ATP = O-phospho-L-seryl-[receptor-protein] + ADP + H(+)COFACTOR Part of a complex consisting of MAGI2/ARIP1, ACVR2A, ACVR1B and SMAD3 (By similarity). Interacts with MAGI2/ARIP1 (By similarity). Interacts with type I receptor ACVR1 (PubMed:17911401). Interacts with BMP7 (PubMed:12667445). Interacts with TSC22D1/TSC-22 (PubMed:21791611). Interacts with activin A/INHBA (PubMed:10652306).INTERACTION Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. TKL Ser/Thr protein kinase family. TGFB receptor subfamily.
