Human Anti-CD292

Human anti Human CD292 antibody, clone AbD01564 recognizes human CD292, also known as bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 1A (BMPR-1A) and does not cross-react with human BMPR-1B.The bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) receptors are a family of transmembrane serine/threonine kinases that include the type I receptors BMPR-1A and BMPR-1B and the type II receptor BMPR2.These receptors are also closely related to the activin receptors, ACVR1 and ACVR2. The ligands of these receptors are members of the TGF-beta superfamily. BMPR-1A is the receptor for BMP-2 and BMP-4. TGF-betas and activins transduce their signals through the formation of heteromeric complexes with 2 different types of serine (threonine) kinase receptors: type I receptors of about 50-55 kDa and type II receptors of about 70-80 kDa. Type II receptors bind ligands in the absence of type I receptors, but they require their respective type I receptors for signalling, whereas type I receptors require their respective type II receptors for ligand binding.In humans, mutations in the BMPR-1A gene are responsible for juvenile polyposis syndrome, juvenile intestinal polyposis, and Cowden disease. Human anti Human CD292 antibody inhibits BMP-2 mediated stimulation of C2C12 cells.
