Recombinant Human ACVR2B, Fc-tagged therapeutic protein(Luspatercept)

• Cat.No.: ACVR2B-P014H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human activin receptor type IIB, Fc-tagged therapeutic protein is an investigational therapeutic protein that increases red blood cell (RBC) levels by targeting molecules in the TGF-β superfamily. It contains a modified activin receptor type IIB linked to the Fc protein of human immunoglobulin 1 (IgG1) that acts as a ligand trap for members in the Transforming Growth Factor-Beta (TGF-β) superfamily involved in the late stages of erythropoiesis (red blood cell production). It regulates late-stage erythrocyte (red blood cell) precursor cell differentiation and maturation. This mechanism of action is distinct from that of erythropoietin (EPO), which stimulates the proliferation of early-stage erythrocyte precursor cells.

Specification

• Species: Human
• Source: CHO
• Tag: Fc
• Description: Activins are dimeric growth and differentiation factors which belong to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily of structurally related signaling proteins. Activins signal through a heteromeric complex of receptor serine kinases which include at least two type I (I and IB) and two type II (II and IIB) receptors. These receptors are all transmembrane proteins, composed of a ligand-binding extracellular domain with cysteine-rich region, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain with predicted serine/threonine specificity. Type I receptors are essential for signaling; and type II receptors are required for binding ligands and for expression of type I receptors. Type I and II receptors form a stable complex after ligand binding, resulting in phosphorylation of type I receptors by type II receptors. Type II receptors are considered to be constitutively active kinases. This gene encodes activin A type IIB receptor, which displays a 3- to 4-fold higher affinity for the ligand than activin A type II receptor.
