receptor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
text	transmembrane protein

basic FUNCTION	stimulating FSH secretion
	potent myostatin inhibitor, which can cause dramatic increases in muscle mass
	lays a critical role in patterning both anteroposterior and left-right axes in vertebrate animals
	regulate the axial formation and the development of foregut-derived organs
	with SMAD2 function in the same signaling pathway to regulate axial patterning and pancreas islet formation by means of a threshold mechanism
	type II TGF-beta serine/threonine kinase receptor, integral to the activin and myostatin signaling pathway
	myostatin-related genes involved in the regulation and signaling of myostatin
	key regulator of skeletal muscle mass development
