| Function | Growth factor of the TGF-beta superfamily that plays essential roles in many developmental processes including cartilage and bone formation. Also plays an important role in the regulation of HAMP/hepcidin expression and iron metabolism by acting as a ligand for hemojuvelin/HJV. Also acts to promote expression of HAMP, potentially via the interaction with its receptor BMPR1A/ALK3. Initiates the canonical BMP signaling cascade by associating with type I receptor ACVR1 and type II receptor ACVR2B. In turn, ACVR1 propagates signal by phosphorylating SMAD1/5/8 that travel to the nucleus and act as activators and repressors of transcription of target. Can also signal through non-canonical pathway such as TAZ-Hippo signaling cascade to modulate VEGF signaling by regulating VEGFR2 expression. |
| Cellular Localization | Secreted. |
| Post-transcriptional Modifications | Glycosylated at Asn-454. Glycosylation is crucial for recognition by the activin receptor type I/ACVR1. |
| Involvement in Disease | Iron overload (IO): A disorder of iron homeostasis with incomplete and age-dependent penetrance. It is characterized by adult onset of increased hepatic and systemic iron levels, increased serum ferritin, normal or high transferrin saturation, and inappropriately low or normal levels of hepcidin. The severity of the phenotype depends on age, sex, as well as additional genetic or acquired factors including alcohol consumption and increased body weight. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. |
