[Activin receptor-like kinase 5] This is the systematic gene name for the TGF-beta type 1 receptor (see: TGFBR1). The receptor is a member of the ALK family of receptors. Andersson et al (2006) have reported that GDF11 [growth/differentiation factor-11] (BMP11) predominantly uses ALK4 and ALK5 as receptors.
Effective binding of TGF-beta requires expression of the second receptor subunit (type 2 receptor; see: TGFBR2) (Ebner et al, 1993; Franzen et al, 1993).
