'''Activin receptors''' (Acvr) are integral to the activin and myostatin signalling pathway. Binding of activin to the Acvr on muscle cell membrane leads to enhanced muscle protein breakdown and debilitating loss of muscle mass and functional capacity<ref>PMID:23721881</ref>. | |||
*'''Acvr1''' is involved in bone, heart, cartilage, nervous and reproductive system development and regulation<ref>PMID:31683698</ref>. | |||
