"ACVR2A gene also called ACVR2, ACTRII, or ACTRIIA is located on the long arm of chromosome 2 (location 2q22.2-q23.3) and has the overall length of 83.3 kb. The lead role of a protein encoded by this gene is the mediation of activin functions. The activin A receptor type 2A (ACVR2A) is constructed of 513 amino acids, and consists of an extracellular, a transmembrane and a cytoplasmic serine-threonine kinase domains. Except for the ability to transfer phosphate groups, the protein exhibits transferase and tyrosine kinase activity.
