Product Description: ALK-7 is a type I receptor serine-threonine kinase mediate inhibitory as well as stimulatory signals for growth and differentiation by binding to members of the TGF-β superfamily. ALK-7 combined with specific ligands, such as Nodal, activin B and growth differentiation factor (GDF), can activate Smads and other signaling pathways, thereby regulating cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis in various cells[1][2][3]. ALK-7 Protein, Rhesus Macaque (HEK293, Fc) is produced in HEK293 cells with a C-Terminal Fc-tag. It consists of 89 amino acids (G25-E113).
