Acvr1c Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables several functions, including ATP binding activity; BMP receptor binding activity; and activin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including brain development; cell surface receptor protein serine/threonine kinase signaling pathway; and response to aldosterone. Located in cell surface. Part of activin receptor complex. Biomarker of retinal degeneration. Orthologous to human ACVR1C (activin A receptor type 1C). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Acvr1c often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
